Cornish Pirates

RFU Championship Play Off Round 3

Camborne Rec
Sunday 4th April
Kick-off 3pm

Phil Westren's Preview

Having won their first two RFU Championship Pool 'A' play-off games away to Plymouth Albion and at home to Bristol, Bedford Blues will arrive at Camborne on Sunday focused on making it three wins on the trot to thus seriously heighten their chances of making the semi-finals of the competition.

As for the Pirates, who are second in the pool following a narrow loss at Bristol and a win at home to Plymouth Albion, victory on Sunday would make it very interesting for the three matches that then remain.

The Pirates have tremendous respect for the Blues, against whom they have had two really tight games to date this season, wining 25-24 at home and losing 19-16 away.

With the weather forecast looking favourable, supporters can expect a thrilling contest between two sides that like to play an expansive game, and who can be especially dangerous on the counter

A big crowd is expected, including Terry Burwell,Tournaments and Competitions Director at the RFU.
