Could be a close thing, but I reckon the lads will prevail and possibly bring home all the points.

Set piece, as usual, will be the key - scrum and line out have been good this season. If we get good, quick ruck ball I love the look of our back division - a lot of pace and power. Should be a good game.

Cambridge 33 Pirates 40
A welcome bonus point win after scoring 6 tries away from home for the pirates.
One area of concern will be their discipline in defence after the home side scored 2 late tries to claim 2 bonus points.
A big month ahead of us starting with Nottingham at home next Saturday before 3 difficult away games against Coventry, Bedford and Ealing.
Well done to the coaches and squad have a safe trip back to Cornwall.

5 points on the road must be good, and to score 6 tries.
Slightly disappointing second half, but job done and third in the table.

A good first half and to have collected a BP at this point looked promising. At the end I was happy for the game to finish as I believed if there was another 5 minutes we could have struggled to keep Cambridge out and gain all points. Sorry to note in TRP Pirates conceded 16 penalties and Cambridge concede 7. We still have an issue regarding penalties. Also mentioned in TRP Mr Sweeney 
in attendance at the match. Wonder if he paid for his ticket if he was present and what he took away from the match.
