Blackburn had the game’s first chance when Tyrhys Dolan tricked his way past Luke McNally into a promising position in the box but blazed the ball over the bar from a narrow angle, overlooking better-placed options in the middle.
Sinclair Armstrong, making his first Robins start since December 10 following a hamstring injury, looked lively early on with a couple of forward runs giving Blackburn a warning of the threat he could pose.
From one in the 10th minute, Danny Batth then brought him down and conceded the free-kick which earned the defender a booking and led to the hosts’ opening goal.
The set-piece was in an ideal position for Twine, who curled his effort perfectly over the wall and into Aynsley Pears’ bottom corner.
