Both Cornish Pirates and Northampton Saints came through their opening league games last Saturday & all in the Duchy will be looking forward to the former Heineken Cup winners marching into Cornwall to play the Pirates at Camborne this Sunday.

Whilst the Cornish Pirates recorded a 26-12 points win away against the Cornish All Blacks, the Saints entertained London Welsh at Franklin's Gardens in front of an amazing 11,507 supporters, winning the contest 44-11.

Included in the Saints line-up were former New Zealand 'All Blacks' Carlos Spencer, Mark Robinson and skipper Bruce Reihana , the latter crossing the line for two of their six tries scored in the match, and all are expected in Cornwall this weekend.

The record crowds look set to continue, with over 5000 tickets already sold for Sunday, including a large traveling support from the East Midlands.

The Cornish Pirates are encouraging fans to use the new ticket facilities, with on-line and telephone bookings being taken non stop since Saturday, the club are urging spectators to make sure they get their ticket, although tickets might still be available on the day due to the much increased 7000 capacity.

A sell-out crowd is expected and Northampton view the Cornish Pirates as being one of the few teams capable of causing an upset against them, and will arrive fully focused.

Supporters wanting tickets are advised to buy in advance on-line - from the usual outlets or from the ticket office 01736-331961.

In addition, the club are hoping that supporters will use the public transport options available from the Press Gang Supporters Club and Mounts Bay Coaches or the Rail Option, Camborne Train Station is less than 10 minutes walk away,

Congestion could be heavy with the large crowd, there's plenty of bar space at the ground so come early and enjoy the day.

Gates & Bars open 13:00
