New signing Kyle Moyle set for Cornish Pirates debut at Swansea

Kyle Moyle is in line to make his senior debut for the Cornish Pirates tomorrow as the squad travel to Wales to take on Swansea (4.30pm) in the British & Irish Cup at St Helens, writes Dick Straughan.

The recent signing from St Ives is named on the bench in a team led by Gavin Cattle as the Pirates look to complete the double over the Welsh Premiership side and make it four wins out of four in the competition.

With loanees JJ Kilmartin and Sam Hill both unavailable, Tom Bedford returns to the right wing and Junior Fatialofa and Tom Riley resume their familiar partnership in the midfield.

The only other change to the starting line-up sees Kyle Marriott revert to his preferred flanker berth in the absence of Joe Buckle, with Laurie McGlone coming in at No8. On the bench Ben Prescott is also recalled and takes the place of Alan Paver.
