Titans chase a winning start

Titans go into the lion's den at London Scottish, facing a side which narrowly missed out on a top-four slot last season and have considerably pumped up their strength this season, including the recruitment of five dual-registered players from Harlequins.

But Blackett isn't fazed by that and, taking the season one game at a time, believes Rotherham can head to the Athletic Ground and lay down a winning marker as they look to emulate last season's achievements. Victory at Scottish last year proved the difefrence beween titans and the Exiles making the play-off cut.

He said: "If you look at  the two games against them last year, we won by a point down there and two points away from home and that was the difference between making the top four and not — concede a penalty in both games and we'd have lost them both and missed out; it was as close as that."

Kick off tomorrow is 3pm.
