THE Cornish All Blacks’ scheduled trip to Coney Hill tomorrow is off after the hosts conceded the Tribute South West One (West) clash at Metz Way due to a lack of fit props.

The Gloucestershire side have struggled badly since winning promotion from Tribute Western Counties (North) last term, failing to win a game and conceding 318 points in the process.

A number of injuries haven’t helped their cause, and tomorrow’s cry-off means it would have been the third time in just 11 games they would have to have done so, meaning league leaders Launceston’s advantage is guaranteed to be six points at the very least ahead of next weekend’s visit of Keynsham to Polson Bridge (2.30pm).

The All Blacks agreed to play the fixture with uncontested scrums but a call to the RFU to ask for permission to do so was rejected.

The return clash at Polson Bridge is scheduled for Saturday, March 23.
