NEWPORT v RGC PREVIEW

After last week’s romp against Aberavon, the Black & ambers face a difficult couple of games against a very good RGC outfit.  The North Wales team beat Pontypool last week and are three points behind having won four games against Newport’s five.  These two games will possibly have a big part in deciding our final league position.

Only one change to the starting fifteen, with Noah Morgan picking up an injury, Harrison James comes in to the centre and Chay Foster-Smith moves to the wing.

Newport: Harry Fry, Henry Palmer, Garin Harris, Josh Skinner, Callum Bradbury, Josh Reid, Hunter Ward, Ben Roach Captain, Dafydd Buckland, Carwyn Penny, Chay Foster Smith, Harrison James, Harri Ackerman, Lloyd Lewis, Morgan Williams.

Replacements:  Aneurin Jenkins, Tom Workman, Ollie Drake, Morgan Burgess, Ioan Rhys Davies, Kobi Rees, Lucus Welch, Joe Salter.

 

Referee:  Gareth Newman
