Neath visit Beddau in the WRU Premiership on Saturday (kick off 1.00pm).

Earlier in the season Beddau won at The Gnoll for the first time 10-7 through a last-gasp kick but a couple of weeks later a similar miss led to Neath winning through at Beddau in the Cup in a 19-19 draw.

Beddau have since gone on to enjoy an outstanding season and, up until last weekend, led the Premiership so Neath will have it all to do on Saturday.

Changes to the starting XV this week see wing Morgan Meaclem and skipper Ben Williams return while Steff Lewis, Jacob Blackmore and Ben Uphill figure on a strong-looking bench.
