Head Coach Paul Hull has warned Bristol Rugbyto be fully aware of the dangers a resurgent Doncaster side will pose in a potentially tricky trip to Castle Park on Saturday.

The Yorkshire club boosted flagging confidence by snapping a run of six successive defeats with a 21pts-6 win last weekend at Plymouth to remain one off the bottom of the Championship.

But head coach Hull is looking for his own team - third on points difference with six wins from seven outings - to maintain momentum by tapping into the same resolve that produced a notable triumph the last time Bristol Rugby hit the road to face the Cornish Pirates.

He said: "Doncaster are coming into a little bit of form after a good win over Plymouth and I'm sure they will be relishing our visit.

"It's now a matter for us to make sure we are mentally and physically right, and to make sure we're up for the battle and potential hostility.

"We played pretty well the last time we were away. The forwards got to grips with some tricky conditions and put down a good platform, and that's something we'll be looking to repeat."

Bristol rugby have yet to really cut loose for 80 minutes this season but Hull believes his side is making progress.

He said: "Seven games in, we're starting to get a feel for this division. We knew it would be tough so we've not been surprised, but I think eyes have been opened by the commitment and passion shown by the opposition.

"This is still a very new team facing new challenges at new venues and it takes time to gel but things will come right, I'm confident of that. The fact that we've been winning without hitting our straps is something I see as a positive.

"We're still trying to improve in all aspects and I still feel that we're on track to reach our goals for the season."

Hooker David Blaney will sit out Saturday's game because of a finger injury suffered in last Friday's home win over Moseley but is expected to be fit for the floodlit clash with Coventry at the Memorial Stadium on October 30.
