After the break, the Pirates extended their lead with tries from Tyrone Holmes and Cook.

Coventry also scored twice through Phil MacKenzie and Aaron Carpenter.

The win moves the Pirates up to fourth in the Championship standings.

Coventry, docked 15 points on Wednesday by the Rugby Football Union after going into administration, stay second from bottom.
