Pirates slip to another home loss

Cornish Pirates
The Pirates could not stop Rotherham coming away with the win

Cornish Pirates suffered their third successive home defeat on Saturday, going down 28-32 to Rotherham.

Rotherham went into a 17-0 lead after 13 minutes before Bertrand Bedes' try reduced the deficit.

Brian Tuohy crossed the line just before the break to make it 20-17 at half-time.

But two second half Rotherham tries put them too far ahead of the Pirates, even though Dan Seal did score a late consolation try.

Pirates coach Brett Davey told BBC Radio Cornwall that his men did not play like they should have.

"It's disappointing because you expect a lot better from players you have massive respect for and you'd like to think they know the right things to do.

"There are certain things that are being told and certain things that are not happening, but everyone's accountable at the end of the day."
