Team news for the big game at Ebbw Vale


With three games left to play before their season ends each game becomes a ‘cup final’ as Bedwas bid to escape relegation.
This week it’s potentially another tough assignment as Bedwas head to Eugene Cross Park, the home of Ebbw Vale RFC.
Following on from last week’s win at Neath head coach Steffan Sankala makes a few changes to his starting line-up.
Up front all three front row players change which sees the return of Brynley Toms, Alun Rees and Rhys James. Otherwise the ‘boiler house’ and back row remain the same. Behind the scrum we welcome back Dragons Academy’s Tom Hoppe and Will Talbot-Davies who start at outside centre and left wing respectively. Adam Williams moves to inside centre with Lewis Bowden moving to the bench.
The full twenty three is:
15. Tom Benjamin, 14. Deon Smith, 13. Tom Hoppe, 12. Adam Williams, 11. Will Talbot-Davies, 10. Joseph Scrivens, 9. Luke Crane; 1. Brynley Toms, 2. Alun Rees ©, 3. Rhys James, 4. Craig Hudd, 5. Joe Davies, 6. James Richards, 7. Jonathan Armitage, 8. Nathan Hudd.
Replacements:
16. Mike Dacey, 17. Tom Devine, 18. Rhys Hutcherson, 19. Gareth Allen, 20. Dale Rogers, 21. Rory Harries, 22. Jacob Chilcott, 23. Lewis Bowden.
