Next up for Newport is an improving Neath outfit with a point to prove. Having missed out on their first application to take part in the new Elite Domestic Competition they await the result of their second application and will be determined to show that they belong at the highest level of club rugby. It will be good to see the Welsh All-blacks back in Premier League action.
Last Saturday the Black & Ambers extended their run to nine bonus point wins against a strong Cardiff side and they will hope to continue the run to put pressure on league leaders, Llandovery and to increase their lead on third placed Ebbw Vale.
The coaches make several changes to the starting fifteen but are still able to field a strong team.
Newport: Tom Workman, Tyler Olding, Garin Harris, Elliot Ferriman, Josh Skinner, Lewis David, Kyle Tayler, Ben Roach Captain, Luke Crane, Jac Lloyd, Elliot Frewen, Iestyn Galton, Chay Foster-Smith, Iwan Pyrs Jones, Lewis Bates.
Replacements: Tomoya Adachi, Thomas Davies, Clay Gibbons, Tommy Chapman, Louis Pullen, Dafydd Buckland, Matt O’Brien, Alex Webber.
Referee: Jason Bessant
AR1: Simon Rees
AR2: Simon Davies
Venue: Newport Stadium
Kick-off: 7: 15 PM
