Supporter Information: Doncaster

The Cornish Pirates head into Round 3 of Champ Rugby still looking for a first win, following narrow defeats at the hands of Hartpury and Ampthill in the first two rounds. It’s a blockbuster clash this weekend, as two Champ heavyweights lock horns at The Mennaye with a familiar face or two making their return to Cornwall. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the weekend.
