Neath pay their first visit to Brecon for 52 years on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm) when the two teams meet in the league, the previous encounter having been in the WRU Cup.

First time out in the Premiership last week, Neath were well beaten by favourites Merthyr (19-45) while Brecon themselves lost at Newbridge (19-26).

Despite that opening loss, coaches Tim Ryan and Ryan Evans have given a massive vote of confidence to the team which started last week and have named an unchanged side although there are several changes on the bench where Evan Kneath, Elis Hopkins, Fergus Kneath, Rhodri Wall and Llewellyn Hawkes come in.
