The Cornish Pirates return back to the Mennaye Field for the first time in 2026 this weekend, as we host Nottingham in Round 18 of Champ Rugby. The Pirates have turned their fortunes around in recent weeks with two bonus point victories in a row to propel themselves back into the play off picture. Visitors Nottingham arrested a recent slide with a narrow victory at home to Cambridge last week and come to Cornwall a place above the Pirates in the table. If last seasons clash is anything to go by, it should make for a thrilling contest after a 35-34 Cornish Pirates victory.
