Doncaster cruised past a mistake-ridden Plymouth Albion at Brickfields as they run in seven unanswered tries.

The visitors dominated from the outset, fly-half Tristan Roberts going over after 12 minutes for their first try.

The Knights crossed the home side's line five more times before the interval, leaving Albion shell-shocked.

Centre Stephen McColl was the star for Doncaster, picking up a hat-trick of touchdowns, while Albion's only points were a second-half penalty by Mark Lee.

The rest of Doncaster's tries came from Chris Hallam, Dougie Flockhart and a second for Roberts, who also kicked two conversions.

Albion limited the damage in the second-half restricting the Knights to a late try from McColl which gave him his hat-trick.

Replacement fly-half Christian Lewis Pratt added the conversion, as Graham Dawe's men slumped to their sixth defeat of the season.
