On Wednesday, Newport face a Pontypridd side having a mixed start to the season and positioned in the bottom half of the table – an unusual place for the Sardis Road outfit. They are sure to be difficult opponents as they look to climb up the table.
The Black & Ambers are on a roll with three bonus point wins on the trot. The coaching team again makes changes to avoid complacency and keep everyone fresh. Henry Palmer and Kyle Tayler come into the pack and Che Hope, Carwyn Penny and Jon Morris start in the backs.
