Quite a few changes in the Pirates squad for this match.
In the backs, Harry Ascherl, on loan from Exeter Chiefs, will partner Chester Ribbons in the centre, whilst Matty Ward is named on the wing.
In the forwards, Rory Suttor and Jack Forsythe are the wing forward pairing, whilst in the second row, former Penzance & Newlyn RFC youth team product Oscar Beckerleg, who has played for England under 20s, and another loanee from Exeter Chiefs, is set to make his debut.
On the bench, two backs on loan from the Chiefs are included. One is Welsh scrum-half Orson James, who has already made two appearances as a replacement for the Pirates this season, whilst the other is fly-half Ben Coen. Ready to make his debut, like Oscar Beckerleg, he is another who has represented England at under 20s level.

The loss of our 3 loan players from Ealing will affect the continuity of the side built up over the season but we will have prepared for this and I'm sure this relatively young and inexperienced side will give their all.
A losing bonus point or two would be very welcome ahead of the week off before the visit of Coventry for our last home match.
Despite leading at the break 7-5 the pirates were unable to stop a strong Ealing side taking the 5 points.
The pirates to their credit take home a well deserved 4 try bonus point.
Very proud of the whole squad for a battling performance against the unbeaten league leaders.
