Neath Delay Naming Side
Neath will delay naming their team for the game against Pontypridd at The Gnoll on Monday, 30 December until the day of the game.
Having picked up a number of injuries during the 23-14 defeat by Swansea at St Helen’s on Friday night, coach Lyn Jones will receive fitness reports on Monday morning.
Former Wales hooker Barry Williams damaged his ribs at a collapsed scrum, while outside half Lee Jarvis took a blow to the head in a tackle. Other players are also carrying bumps and bruises.
Neath face Pontypridd on Monday (kick-off 2.30 pm) and then meet Cardiff in the Celtic League semi-final at The Gnoll on Saturday (kick-off 5.30pm). Tickets for that game are available from the Neath club (01639 769660).
The winners of the semi-final on Saturday will meet the winners of the first semi-final, between Munster and Ulster on Friday night, at the Millennium Stadium on 1 February.
