Could this be the clash between the team that gains promotion to ENC 1A and the team that is relegated to Division 2A? Well that’s the opinion of a forum member at http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/forum2007/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4266&st=0&sk=t&sd=a And he could well be right.

Germany is boosted by the return of von Grumbkow in the backs. The team has a solid look about it and is probably the strongest Germany has fielded for a while.

The Czech Republic is a team that is struggling. They have lost their first three games in this round, two of them on home soil. They will be desperate to turn their fortunes around playing in front of their home crowd and I expect them to give the Germans a big fright. In the end the Germans will be too strong especially up front.
