Doncaster Knights 20 Coventry 19: Knights go top after another nail-biting win
Doncaster Knights won in dramatic fashion for a second successive weekend to go top of the early Championship table, at least for a few hours.

Steve Boden’s side scored three tries during an impressive first half performance which saw them dominate the scrum and excite going forward.
Coventry bossed the second period and threatened to turn the game on its head but Knights dug deep for the narrowest of wins.
The victory followed Knights’ last gasp 19-17 success at Ampthill last weekend.
Coventry were first to strike at Castle Park when Nic Dolly went over after seven minutes and Tony Fenner converted.
