Guess what - it's Pirates again this week. The official  site has confirmed suspicions that the Cornishmen are our most frequent opposition. Apparently we have faced them 44 times in Mike Rayer's reign and no less than four times last season alone. At least we won't need Google maps to get there.

Games between the two sides tend to be high scoring and there's no reason this one will be an exception - we may even get another epic 85 point game.

There' five changes to the Blues line-up with George Hendy and Pat Tapley both starting in te backs. Up front Jacob Fields packs down for his 99th game while Tui Uru is fit and Oli Curry recalled from Chinnor to take his place in the second row. Injuries mounting up already is a slightly worrying sign.

Blues: 15. George Hendy, 14. Pat Tapley, 13. Ethan Grayson, 12. Michael Le Bourgeois, 11. Dean Adamson, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Alex Day (Captain); 1. Joey Conway, 2. Jacob Fields, 3. Ed Prowse, 4. Robin Williams, 5. Oli Curry, 6. Geordie Irvine, 7. Jac Arthur, 8. Tui Uru.

 Reps: 16. Jack Hughes, 17. Monty Royston, 18. Corrie Barrett, 19. Emeka Atuanya, 20. Charles Rylands, 21. Jake Garside, 22. Louis Grimoldby, 23. Seán French

Watched the live feed and it seemed that we played into a diagonal wind in the first half. 2nd half to score 4 tries and 35 points was very good against a decent Pirates team.

The scrum was decent and Grayson seems to have gained a little bit of speed. Booj at 12 makes a big difference to us and showed we missed Hirskj-Douglas last year.

Curry also had a good game standing in.

Pirates didn’t lose last year at home and we had several close games so good to be on the right side.
