Cornish Pirates seek a third RFU Championship win in a row when they visit Bristol on Sunday (Memorial Stadium, 1515).

Pirates recall fit-again Wes Davies at full back, Darren Barry in the second row while Tom Kessell starts at scrum half.

Ben Maidment's brother Max - who made his Pirates debut as a replacement in last Sunday's 19-17 win over Plymouth Albion – again starts on the bench, where he will be joined by fit-again Chris Morgan and new hooker Jack Yeandle.
