Neath – Cardiff team news

Cardiff travel to the Gnoll to play Neath in the Indigo Premieship on Saturday having had last weekend off.

Speaking ahead of the game Head Coach Steve Law said “ after a positive performance at Ebbw Vale we are looking for a bit of consistency in our play. There are a few changes this week and we welcome back James Beal following his injury. There is also a first start for Cam Tyler-Grocott in the front row and Joe Davies is named on the bench. Both are local Cardiff boys and have been impressing in the Championship recently.

We know it will be as always tough going to Neath and it is a game that is eagerly anticipated by both sets of supporters, and the squad is looking forward to the challenge”
