Good news to see these players fit and available for selection. Forwards coach Joe Walsh said earlier in the week that the last 2 weeks has been mainly unopposed training due to the lack of numbers. As well as John Stevens, Hallam Chapman and Milo Hallam have both picked up long term injuries.
Hopefully we have enough strength across the squad to get a much needed win on the road.

A bit short of players. What happens in the cup, do we have to rest dr’s from Chiefs? If so I’d better bring my boots

Strong looking team and good quality bench. Hopefully we can get a much needed win.

A last minute converted try by Cambridge gives them a bonus point win. Our line out and discipline cost us both field position and territory as we ended the game with 14 men.
We are now 11th in the league as we head into a week off before the start of the premiership cup matches.

It's a bit of a recurring nightmare - three games in a row lost with the last play of the game (or almost at full time) when we seemed to be heading for a win.
We must get behind the team and give them our backing - it's when the going gets tough that true supporters show their colours.

Agree Stalwart, and before we know the Pirates will sort out the minor issues and make progress in the near future.
