Neath go to Bedwas, knowing that that is where Newport fell in their last outing. The home ide hope to cause another upset though, while Newport face a diffict task away to Bridgend and then comes the big clash between Newport and Neath on April 10.
If it is tight at the top, it could be tighter at the bottom if Llanelli can defeat Ebbw Vale in Stradey Park. This promises to be a tense affair and Vale may have to play without their former international fly half Byron Hayward, who has a groin injury.
The inal match will at St Helen’s, where Swansea entertain Pontypool. The All Whites are still after a top six finish and Pontypool need the points in fifteenth place.
