After a brilliant victory against Ebbw Vale, in a game that had everything, the Black & Ambers need to focus on the SRC Cup Final game on Saturday. Last Sunday’s semi-final at Rodney Parade was a bruising encounter as both teams gave everything, and it was a great advertisement for SRC rugby. Unfortunately, Fin Baker picked up an injury that will keep him out for the season, and he joins the long injury list.
The coaches make two changes up front with Callum Bradbury and Kyle Tayler coming into the starting fifteen and one surprise in the backs with the returning Oli Andrew replacing Fin Baker.
