Top meets bottom in the clash of the day in the Premier Division, as unbeaten Newport go West to play their first-ever league match against Llandovery, though the clubs met at Church Bank in the Welsh Cup of 1995-96, when Newport won 25-5.

Cardiff renew acquaintances with Newbridge, while Llanelli travel to Caerphilly, where they suffered a bad defeat last season by 33-20, while Bridgend, who have lost Jonathan Rimmer to Melrose, face a Cross keys side short of fit back-row forwards.

Aberavon have to decide between prodigious points-scorer Jamie Davies and Widnes Rugby Leaguer Aled James at fly half against Ebbw Vale; Bedwas will test Swansea severely and in-form Carmarthen Quins take on out-of-form Pontypridd.

The best of the Premier games could be at the Gnoll, where Neath entertain a Pontypool side, who will be hard pushed to repeat last Saturday’s wonderful display against Bridgend. Former Wales Youth cap Ben Jeffries, in particular, is a player to watch.
