This is a match that has the potential to be a 'banana skin' against bottom side Cambridge who are currently without a win.
It's vitally important that we approach this match with the right attitude to get the win and keep us in contention for a top 6 finish.

Play anything like we did in the last two games and we'll be fine. I'm sure the coaches will make sure there's no complacency.

Cambridge 21 Pirates 49
A great win on the road as the pirates scored 7 tries in securing a winning bonus point.
Despite going behind to an early Cambridge try the pirates took control to lead 28-14 at half time.
Although Cambridge applied some early pressure in the 2nd half the pirates continued to dominate and made the most of their try scoring opportunities to run out worthy winners.
An excellent result ahead of next week's visit from premiership club Harlequins.
Well done to all the players, coaches and backroom staff.
