Having missed out due to the frost at Merthyr last Saturday, Neath RFC are hoping to get back into action against Brecon at The Lextan Gnoll on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm).

Neath trained at The Gnoll on Thursday evening and both teams will be keen to play as Brecon sat out last Saturday too when their home game with Newbridge similarly fell foul of the weather.

Neath make a couple of changes to the side named for last week’s game with centre Matthew Jenkins and flanker Gethin Tremlett starting. On the replacements’ bench, Rhodri Wall returns after a long injury lay-off.
