After a much better performance last week by Newport at Carmarthen Quins the Black & Ambers’s will be hoping to continue with their improved form but in-form Keys will certainly pose a major task.
Newport will be hoping to avenge their narrow 9-14 defeat earlier in the season at Pandy Park.
The Keys make a total of eight changes to the starting lineup from the side that started last week in the Swalec Cup quarter final win over Bedwas.
The side has a youthful look to it with Lloyd Lewis, Leon Brown, Luke Garrett, Scott Andrews, Josh Skinner and Jack Condy all starting and all just 20 or under.
