Iva Motusaga scored a try for the Pirates as they came away with a win
|
Cornish Pirates coach Mark Hewitt was happy with the 34-28 win at Rotherham, even though they nearly lost.
Pirates led by 11 points at half-time but Rotherham came back to within one point before Jimmy Moore's late try.
"I thought we put a pretty good performance together but we nearly threw it away," he told BBC Cornwall.
"We spoke at half-time about keeping our discipline and making sure we played in the right areas, but we came out and had a shocking five minutes."
"We kicked the ball away loosely and gave them an opportunity to get straight back into it."
But he conceded that a win up in Yorkshire was a good result for his men.
"I think it's a job well done. Five points up here is a great result. It's a hard place to come up and win," he said.
