Match Preview v Cardiff RFC

Ebbw Vale entertain Cardiff RFC at the Ciner Glass Community Stadium in the Quarter-Final of the WRU Premiership Cup on Saturday with a 2.30pm kick off.

The Steelmen beat Cardiff in the Indigo Premiership earlier in the season with a 36-20 victory at the Arms Park in September with a dominant forward display which led to 4 tries being scored by half time. The Steelmen will look to repeat that form against Cardiff RFC in what will be a tough encounter in the Premiership Cup.

The bench will be finalised before kick-off on Saturday from the following players:

Reminder that this is an all pay game.

Come along and make some noise as the Steelmen attempt to reach the semi-finals of the Premiership Cup. The game kicks off at 2.30pm at the Ciner Glass Community Stadium.
