Plymouth snatched a late win at Brickfields against Doncaster to move back into fourth spot in the league table. 

At half time they looked on their way to a home victory leading 24-8. They ran in three tries with wing Nicholas Sestaret getting the first in the 2^nd minute and second row Tommy Hayes slotted over the conversion after taking on the kicking duties in the absence of regular kicker Nat Saumi. He added a penalty goal and then converted tries from fly half Ed Barnes and full back Luke Arscott. For the visitors centre John Cannon went over and Rob Liley added a penalty goal.

In the second half Liley pulled three points back with a 44^th minute penalty goal. They were than awarded a penalty try on 52 minutes and Liley converted to make it 24-18. They took the lead in the 79^th minute when Oliver Cook playing on the wing instead of his normal position in the back row went over in the corner to make it 24-23; Liley made a difficult touchline conversion and Doncaster took the lead for this first time in the match 25-24. 

The match was won when replacement Nick Defty put over an injury time penalty goal which denied Doncaster their first away win of the season.
