Pirates Team News:

The pirates play their 1st reserve game of the season this week taking on what was a forward dominant opponent in Hove. When these teams met in the opening round of the season, the hot and dry conditions favoured the younger and faster pirates team. Now in wet and cold conditions the pirates must front up physically as the Hove team will be looking to make amends for their opening round defeat.

To combat the physical Hove team hard team selections choices had to be made with a number of regulars missing out this week for some much needed r&r and in come some of the more experienced players of the squad to make the difference.
