Neath can leapfrog Pontypool at the top of the WRU Championship –  if only for a short tenure – if they succeed against Maesteg Harlequins who visit The Gnoll on Tuesday evening (kick off 7.15pm).

The Blacks beat bottom club Tata Steel on Easter Saturday but Quins will be a much different prospect and there are 8 personnel changes in the home starting line-up.

In the continued absence of captain Ryan Evans, scrum-half Luc Jones will lead Neath out and there are also returns for Aled Brew, James Roberts, Louis Rees, Jonny Bayliss and Gareth Lloyd.

The third Kneath brother Fergus is on the replacements bench so if he joins Evan and Morgan for the first time it could be a case of “Neath, Neath, Neath” :-
