TEAM NEWS & SUPPORTER INFORMATION: NEATH v LLANELLI WANDERERS WRU CUP SEMI-FINAL at Dunvant RFC – SATURDAY, JANUARY 24th, 2026 KICK OFF 2.00pm
Neath play Llanelli Wanderers in the semi-final of the WRU Cup at Dunvant RFC on Saturday (kick off 2.00pm).
Last Saturday Neath beat bottom club Brecon 32-21 in the league but there was a high penalty count against them and skipper Ben Williams and his team know that there can be no repeat as Wanderers have an ace-kicker in the prolific Nick Gale who will surely punish them.
As shown by their 20-7 win over Ystrad Rhondda last week, Llanelli Wanderers are a good all-round side who won the Championship Cup at the Principality Stadium last year so Neath know they have a battle on their hands and need to lift their performance.
Changes to the starting XV this week see hooker Sion Jones and lock Josh Hughes return while lock Jacob Blackmore figures on a strong-looking bench.
