Good, strong team and plenty of quality on the bench. We'll need to be at our best - Bedford were too good for us in the pre-season game.

In a game of small margins the width of a post was the difference between the two teams as Arwel Robsons conversion hit the post and rebounded back into the field of play.
The game was a great advert for championship rugby and on this performance both teams should make the end of season play offs.

Another cracking game against a very good Bedford side. We did well to stay in the fight as it looked as though we might be overpowered by Bedford's huge pack early in the game.
We got into the game and the lead changed hands nine times, with no team ever more than one score in front. As P15 says, the conversion hitting the post was the difference in the end.
Very good Pirates performance. The game away at Chinnor now looks a big challenge, but we need the win.
