Cornish Pirates

The two sides last met in March at Goldington Road when the Pirates emerged with a 28-23 victory.

Try-scorers for the visitors were Gerald Arasa, Kevin James, Iva Motusaga and Pete Ince, all of which were converted by Welshman Lee Jarvis.

That victory ensured the Pirates completed the league double over the Blues last season, the Cornish club won the earlier fixture 30-19 at the Mennaye Field.
