[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 798014, member: 58362"] Ian Stirling (former Cornish Pirates High Performance Director) said in an interview given just before he left the club that he believed that if a top Championship (tier 2) side played a top NPC side, the result would be decided by home advantage. Maybe he didn't want to bite the hand that was still feeding him at the time, I don't know. I tend to agree, there's only so long we can keep saying "it worked for Exeter". Maybe the gulf wouldn't appear so great if some of the stumbling blocks were moved out of the way of the promoted team though. [/QUOTE]
