Doncaster Knights host Cornish Pirates (2.30pm) hoping to continue their excellent start to life back in the second tier - and follow-up last weekend’s morale-boosting derby win at Yorkshire Carnegie.

Today’s match is the last round of Championship fixtures prior to a month-long break for the British & Irish Cup.

And Griffiths hopes to temporarily sign off with a fourth league victory out of five.

“It is important for us to maintain our good start and build on last Sunday’s win,” said director of rugby Griffiths.

“We have a huge game [today] and we want to back last weekend up with a strong showing in front of our own fans.

“Again I want to thank the hordes of Donny fans that came over to support on Sunday.

“It was a huge boost for the players and we want to produce another good display at home for you [today].

“When Saturday night comes we want to be four wins from five games and then take that momentum throughout the B&I Cup, ready to go again when the Championship returns.”
