half time summary.

Pirates are controlling the game, forcing errors from the Knights who have coughed up possession when put under pressure seveal times. Defensively Doncaster are performing about from two minor lapses of concentration, but as happens in big games these are punished.

Both Pirates tries have come from good quick rugby , The Knights try came from a show of balance and determination from Armitage.
