Cardiff – Pontypool team news

Cardiff entertain Pontypool in the Indigo Premiership on Saturday looking to build on two bonus point wins in recent weeks.

Speaking ahead of the game Head Coach Steve Law said “last week we worked hard for the bonus point at Bridgend, but there were points where our effort and concentration levels weren’t what we wanted them to be. That made it a closer game than we would have liked and we let the Ravens back into the contest on several occasions.

This week those levels will need to be much higher against a Pontypool side that has been going well so far this season. We will have to counter their strengths with our strengths and put in a performance if we want to get anything out of the game, but it is a challenge we are very much looking forward to.”
