Cornish Pirates survive Chinnor fightback to earn win
Cornish Pirates joint-head coach Gavin Cattle says he was disappointed with his side's second-half showing in their 33-31 win at led 33-12 at the break, Pirates had to hang on to get the bonus-point win, which kept them fifth in the Championship. Matt McNab scored four tries after Dan Hiscocks' fifth-minute score as Pirates looked to be cruising to a try from Callum Pascoe and two from Cam Rafferty made for a tense finish as a missed conversion was all that separated Chinnor from a draw. "There was some exceptional stuff in the first half, we took our tries well," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall."Then second half I don't know what happened. I don't think we tried to shut up shop, I just think Chinnor had a bit of deserved pressure."The disappointing thing for us was our penalty count - I think we were doing really well in defensive sets, but the decision-making in and around the breakdown is going to be a work-on for us this week."There were a couple of 50-50 pens in there that swung momentum a bit that could have gone our way, but at large if you split the game up, I think we were the better team."
