PROP Danny Porte believes Albion must make Brickfields an intimidating ground to visit if they are to build on Saturday's impressive 16-8 Championship win over the Cornish Pirates.

The city side deservedly claimed their second league success – both victories have come at home – in five matches at Brickfields after outscoring Pirates two tries to one.

Albion bossed the game from start to finish with their forwards dominating throughout and Porte insists Graham Dawe's side must continue to play to their strengths.

"We can't rest on the fact we have beaten the Pirates," said Porte.

"We have lost a local derby against Exeter and we have only got two wins from five matches, so it is not a great record.

"We do need to start building things now and try and claim another win or two as soon as possible.

"The fans have been great, they get behind you, and I know from previous experience that coming to Plymouth is always hard. We want people to start fearing coming down here.

"We want teams to say 'we know what we are going to get when we go to Plymouth, it is going to be a hard game, they are going to maul and they are going to drive it' and we should never disappoint anyone with that."

Porte, who scored Albion's first try in Saturday's victory, added: "We produced a really good team performance against a good Pirates side.

"It was really good to take the performance from Exeter into the Pirates match and to not leave it all behind.

"Everyone played well and we really upped the physicality, which makes a huge difference.

"We have got to try and get back to the traditional Plymouth game now.

"I think we probably got away from that in the first three games.

"But Saturday's win shows that it is one of our main strengths and it does make space for the backs to play.

"We have got a physical set of backs, so it makes sense to use them confrontationally. It is a physical game, so we have got to keep up with that."

Porte played the full 80 minutes of Saturday's clash in what was his second start of the season.

He came into the starting line-up for the trip to Exeter a week earlier due to an injury to Martin Rice and seven days later he capped a fine performance with his first Albion try.

"It is nice to still be playing, to still be able to do it, and even nicer to score my first try for the club," said Porte. "It was my usual distance out of about three inches!

"But it just shows we are getting in the right positions to score tries like that that and we are using the forwards' power play to the best of our advantage.

"Sometimes we have been guilty of rushing our play, but we showed some patience on Saturday.

"We stood the ball up and we were cute when we lost Keni (Fisilau) for 10 minutes – other than the initial three points we didn't concede any points because we kept the ball and we slowed the game down."

Porte added: "After losing heavily at home to Bedford (38-3), everybody looked at themselves quite hard, because it wasn't acceptable.

"But I think we answered that a bit with Saturday's performance and win."

ALBION'S development team – the Devonport Warriors – lost 16-10 away at Redruth yesterday.

Max Venables scored the Warriors' only try, while teenage fly-half Mark Lee kicked a penalty and conversion.

Nick Simmons and Matt Bowden scored tries for Redruth, with Adryan Winnan kicking two penalties.

Lee, David Morton, Mike Lewis, James Waterhouse and Rory Watts-Jones were all in the Albion side.
