Nic Corrigan Director of Professional Rugby & Coaching “This gives some within the squad an additional opportunity to stake a claim for the campaign. We have had one squad game and two internal games so far this preseason. However, I continue to speak on a recruitment basis with partner clubs as we move forward. Simply performance and performance alone will dictate our place in the food chain this season. We have to show candour within the group and face a tough challenge in Llandovery head on by breathing life into the way we want to play for a consistent period. We have to continue in this squad the ruthless work ethic and drive that to date has been impressive so far this preseason.”
Mike Wilcox Club Captain “We are looking forward to building on our first game last week, plenty to work on and improve which we will look to do this weekend. It will be a step up in opposition which is exactly what we need to ensure we are building and prepared for our first league game of the season.”
