TITANS tackle Cornish Pirates this weekend badly in need of a win boost in their quest to climb out of the lower reaches of the Championship.

A 43-10 reverse at leaders Exeter Chiefs on Saturday meant a sixth loss from the first eight games for Craig West's men, who sit fourth from bottom.

They put in a brave first 40 minutes at Sandy Park to trail only 17-10 at the break, with Sam Dickinson going over for a try and Mike Whitehead (pictured) adding the conversion and a penalty.

The superior power and pace of the leaders showed in the second period though as they ran in four tries without reply.

Saturday is another toughie for the Titans against a capable Pirates side who are placed fifth in the table.

Kick-off at Clifton Lane is 2pm.
