Preview: Camarthen Quins v Llanelli

Carmarthn Quins return to the Park this weekend after a 32-19 victory over Bridgend Ravens away from home last Saturday.

In the last three games the Quins have scored 16 tries and they will see no reason to depart from the attacking style of rugby they have developed under Head Coach Louis Tonkin and his management team.

Llanelli however, is never an easy fixture and in the true tradition of local derby’s there is unlikely to be much between the teams on the scoreboard after 80 minutes.

The Quins have made a couple of changes to the starting line up with Chris Banfield returning to the right wing after representing the Wales 7’s squad in Bucharest last week.

Rhodri Wells starts his first game of the season at scrum half whilst Kieran Hardy drops to the bench after injury against Bridgend.

In the forwards Shaun Jones replaces Sion Bennett in the back row and Josh Helps returns to the boiler house with Haydn Pugh. Ian Jones resumes his starting position as captain.
