"Laurie has been a cornerstone of our pack since I first arrived in Cornwall. He is the archetypal you get what it says on the tin type of rugby player," said director of rugby Ian Davies.

"Luke has developed well under Gavin Cattle's guidance and was unfortunate to get injured just as he was starting to break into the starting XV. With a good pre-season and I'm sure the opportunity will come again."
