This Sunday's home game for the Cornish Pirates – kick-off 2.30pm against London Scottish – clearly has added importance.
With their scheduled game away to London Welsh last Saturday having being cancelled, following certain results of other games that were played during the weekend the Pirates have now dropped to seventh in the league table.
A defeat for the Cornish Pirates on Sunday versus fifth-placed 'Scottish' would naturally be a dent to the season's aspirations, however a win could perhaps see the side make it into the top four – and that, of course, is the ultimate aim for April.
"Last weekend off means that we will be fresh and prepared, but there is a realisation too that London Scottish can pose a real attacking threat on their day and they also have a dangerous driving maul. It should be an interesting encounter.
