The Wizards have won sixteen of their twenty-three league games this season and have won their last two games – against Pontypool and the Wanderers – with bonus points. The All Whites have won eleven and drawn one of their games but have lost their last four games, including a narrow 34 – 36 loss at home to Cardiff last weekend.
The match will be the twenty-second time that both sides have met in the league with the All Whites leading the series by eleven wins to nine with one game drawn.
Aberavon have made nine changes plus one positional to the side that scored eleven tries against a young Glamorgan Wanderers side last weekend.
Five of the changes are made in the pack with Neil White and Marc Breeze coming in to the front row, Gavin Ronan in the second row, and Nathan Strong and Nathan Brown in the back row.
Behind, Paul Bamsey comes in at full back with Ricky Thomas moving to the wing. Chris Tossell makes his second league appearance this season at centre. At half back, Dan Davies and Jamie Davies return.

Paul Bamsey; Richard Carter, Will Price, Chris Tossell, Ricky Thomas; Jamie Davies, Dan Davies; Neil White, Marc Breeze, James Jones, Rhydian Gierat, Gavin Ronan, James King, Nathan Strong, Nathan Brown.
