Ebbw Vale – Cardiff team news

Cardiff travel to Eugene Cross Park on Saturday in the Indigo Premiership (14:30)

Following last weeks defeat Head Coach Steve Law said  “ it was hugely disappointing to lose last weekend, but we only have ourselves to blame. This week both the coaching staff and the players have been critical of that performance and we are looking forward to getting out on the field to put things right.

That said there are a few changes which will create opportunities for players to put their hand up for a regular starting slot. We welcome back Ioan Evans onto the bench following a long injury that has kept him out since March last year. Will Keep makes his first start having impressed when he has come off the bench. We are also grateful to Cardiff Met for the permit of Harry Silman.

We know Ebbw Vale will pose a lot of questions for us. They are very well coached and a good team who play for each other and stick to their game plan. We know we will need to apply ourselves to the task. We are confident though that producing a performance will get us the result we are looking for”
