Cardiff – Pontypridd team news

Cardiff entertain local rivals Pontypridd in the Indigo Premiership at the Arms Park on Saturday (17:15)

Speaking ahead of the game Gruff Rees said “it will be a very exciting day at the Arms Park against our local rivals. We are looking forward to seeing a large vocal crowd getting behind both sides as we know they will. It is a great opportunity for us to showcase the talent we have in the Region especially with it being live on S4C. Also we have an Under 18 game as a curtain raiser which will show off the pathway that exists to professional rugby.

Of course Cardiff – Ponty is a traditional Christmas game and we look forward to greeting our good friends and great rivals on Saturday”
