Principality Premiership team news

They host Glamorgan Wanderers at The Gnoll on Saturday and welcome captain Gareth Gravell back to the starting line-up after he missed the midweek victory over Pontypool.

“We have had a good week with wins over London Welsh and Pontypool but we must be more assertive and dictate the terms of the game and we must take full advantage of Pontypridd’s break,” said Neath coach Patrick Horgan.

“Alongside the return from injury of some key personnel, we have introduced some very promising young local players recently and, by playing our usual positive, attacking rugby we can really make our mark this season.”
