Aberavon – Cardiff team news

Cardiff travel to the Port Talbot Athletic Ground to play Aberavon on Thursday night in a game that will televised on S4C Clic.

Both sides will be coming off the back of a loss in their last match, Cardiff losing to Llandovery, and Aberavon to Pontypridd on Saturday. The Blue & Blacks though gained a vital bonus point that secured their spot in the semi-finals of the Indigo Premiership cup where they will play RGC.

But this is about league points and with Cardiff on top and the Wizards third there is plenty to play for Aberavon were the form team at the beginning of the season but have slipped up recently. Cardiff will know though how tough a game it will be on Thursday and form of late will not come into the equation.
