Bill“The best set-piece performance of the season” was how Cornish Pirates High Performance Director Chris Stirling summed up his side’s performance against old foes Bristol at the Mennaye on a bitterly cold December afternoon.

Our leading club side the Cornish Pirates have made a useful start to their Championship campaign with three wins and a draw. The three wins have all come from home wins back at the Mennaye the latest a 32-15 win over Birmingham &
