Titans fightback is halted

ROTHERHAM Titans' late fightback failed as they went down 36-26 at Bristol.

The hosts led 23-9 at half-time and 30-9 at one point but had to hold on to claim a crucial win.

Rotherham, to their credit, fought back when they could easily have caved in. Hooker Tom Cruse broke clear to score their side’s first try, before Socino took Charlie Mulchrone’s pass to score a quick second.

Socino, back in form with the boot, added four penalties and converted twice.
