Match Preview v Swansea RFC

The Steelmen return to action today, looking to build on the victory against Newport RFC last weekend, when they entertain Swansea RFC at the Ciner Glass Community Stadium with a 2.30pm kick off.

The Steelmen have made several changes to the match day squad.

It is all change in the front row with Luke Garrett, Rhys Francis and Harry Drane returning to the starting 15, while at half back, Rory Harries and Kieran Meek replace Jon Evans and Evan Lloyd.

Ben Main, the summer signing from Abergavenny RFC, will be looking to make his debut for the Steelmen from the bench.

There will also be a return of a fan favourite to the club today with Toby Fricker being the guest speaker for the pre-game hospitality. Toby played for the Steelmen for 2 seasons before signing for the Bristol Bears. He is currently signed with the Ospreys.
