Cardiff entertain reigning Premiership Champions Merthyr at the Arms Park on Saturday afternoon (2:30pm)
This will undoubtedly be one of the Blue & Blacks toughest games of the season as Head Coach Steve Law recognises “Merthyr aren’t Champions for nothing. They have excellent players all over the park and one of the best coaching teams in the league. The have been 2 passes, one set piece or one kick away from winning all bar one of the games they have lost this season and their current seventh place doesn’t reflect how good a side they are.
Having said that we are focusing on what we have to do to win what will be a very tough, if not the toughest, challenge we will face this season. We have to focus in what we do well and we are confident that if we produce a performance on Saturday we will be able to get a result.
We have a winning habit at the moment and we want to continue that. There is a lot of talk about us having already won the title, but people have to remember that this league will not be won in the second week of December. We are facing three teams in the next few weeks that have all finished in the top four over recent years, and each of those challenges will have an impact on the destination of the title. We are not thinking about winning the Premiership we are focused on the next game, starting with Merthyr this weekend.”
