After their shock defeat by RGC last weekend the Black & Ambers need to get back to winning form this Saturday. Llandovery will have studied the video and you can be sure that they will be full of confidence travelling to Newport Stadium. The Drovers are a good team with plenty of attacking options and a strong defence. Newport will need to play as they did when they beat the same opposition last month to get a result.
Ethan Phillips (unavailable) and Carwyn Penny (injury) who both missed the RGC game, go straight in to the starting fifteen with Kyle Tayler, Joe Peard and Noah Morgan returning from injury and joining the replacements
Newport: Ed Thompson, Wade Langley, Ollie Drake, Nick Thomas, Ethan Phillips, Hunter Ward, Josh Reid, Ben Roach Capt., Dafydd Buckland, Will Ford, Fin Baker, Joe Westwood, Chay Foster-Smith, Sam Morgan, Carwyn Penny.
