This week scores will be settled in Super Rygbi Cymru as sides face each other for the second consecutive week.
Last night, Newport were unable to overturn last weeks’ loss to Swansea despite a first ever Black and Ambers score for Dragons Academy eight Cerrig Smith, plus a try for Dai Richards.
Two conversions from Dragons’ Jac Lloyd added to the score, but Newport eventually suffered a 24-14 away loss.
Tomorrow, Ebbw Vale and Pontypool renew hostilities with Cardiff and Carmarthen Quins respectively.
The Steelers beat Cardiff 60-20 last weekend at the Ciner Glass stadium and travel to the Arms Park tomorrow looking to maintain their 100 percent record in the SRC.
Ebbw currently sit atop the table with 18 points from a possible 18 and they, plus Dragons eight Owen Conquer, will be hoping to maintain their perfect start to the season.
In total, Ebbw have made three changes to the starting XV with Dylan Edwards, Evan Lloyd and Ieuan Morris starting at full back, fly-half and hooker respectively.
Meanwhile, Pontypool will be looking for revenge from their 24-12 defeat at Carmarthen Quins when they host the same opposition at Pontypool Park.
Head coach Tom Hancock has made seven changes with Dragons Ewan Rosser and Evan Minto both coming into the starting XV.
