Third-placed Neath RFC are back in Championship action and play Tata Steel at The Gnoll on Saturday afternoon (kick off 2.30pm).

Last week, Neath paid the penalty for putting out a much-changed side against Kenfig Hill who deservedly won 15-14. Only two players start in the same shirt as last week and the XV is much more akin to that which nearly beat Bargoed last time out in the Championship.
