Neath RFC entertain old rivals Bargoed in the WRU Premiership fixture at The Gnoll on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm).

Games between the two clubs are usually exciting, often unpredictable affairs and Neath will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing 31-41 at Bargoed in October in a high-scoring game in which both teams scored 5 tries.

Good news for spectators is that the latest weather forecast suggests it may be fine on Saturday – so it will be interesting to see how the sides cope in dry-weather conditions after the seemingly eternal wet stretch.

The Neath starting line-up shows just three changes with Steff Williams at outside-half and Steff Lewis and Will Pope coming into the back row.
