Neath left it late to secure a 5-tries to 3 victory at Llangennech who used wind advantage to build a 27-14 lead at half-time.

Home winger Callum Woolley bagged a first-half hat-trick including a splendid interception effort from his own line. Outside-half Steff Marshall goaled all three and he added two penalties. Neath responded with first-half tries by winger Ki Morgan and lock Matthew Davies, outside-half Paul Short converting both.

With the wind now behind them, the All Blacks had the better of the second-half when, although Marshall fired over another penalty, three further away tries by centre Sean Wilcox, hooker Sion Jones and a second for Ki Morgan, two converted by Paul Short, saw the away side clinch a narrow victory to stay in third place.
