Cornish Pirates v Gloucester
Premiership Rugby Cup
Friday 31st January 2025
Mennaye Field Penzance

Kick Off 19:30

Changes in the Pirates starting line-up from last weekend against Ealing Trailfinders, sees Tom Georgiou named in the centre in place of the unavailable Charlie McCaig.
At tight-head prop Ollie Andrews, an impressive try-scoring replacement last week, is selected to make his first start in a Pirates shirt, and lock Matt Cannon, who could not play against his parent club, will partner Alfie Bell in the second row.

The one other change is in the back row where Lucas Dorrell comes into the team on a short-term loan from Exeter Chiefs, whilst Irish prop Tom Connolly, who has been associated with Leinster, and is similarly on loan, is named on the bench.

Although we don't know how Gloucester will line up this will no doubt be a tough game.
We have little chance of qualifying for the quarter finals so it's important that we can get as much game time for the squad and new players ahead of our return to league action in March.

Not sure who the commentator is for Radio Drekkly, but very fluid & passionate.
Actually enjoying the commentary for a change, reminds me of the one and only Dick Straughan
