SWALEC CUP
Round Six
Holders Neath travel to Carmarthen Quins, unbeaten leaders of Division One West, who will provide a stern test for the Welsh All Blacks.
Quins coach Max Howells said: “It’s a great draw for us. We haven’t lost a game all season and it will be a test of where we are as a side.
“They will be favourites as holders of the cup but we always have a lot of belief and we will relish the challenge.
“We will approach the game in a positive manner and hope the players perform to the best of their ability.
“Rowland Phillips and myself go back a long way so there’s some positive history between us and I’m sure it will be an enjoyable occasion.”
Round Five giantkillers Llantwit Fardre have been rewarded with a difficult trip to the Talbot Athletic Ground to face Premier outfit Aberavon. The Three South East side beat Division One West visitors Whitland 26-18 on Saturday but will find the Wizards a totally different proposition.
Tie of the round will be at Parc Stradey where 13 times-winners Llanelli entertain Cardiff while other all-Premier ties see Cross Keys host Pontypridd, Swansea travel to Ebbw Vale, and Newport face Llandovery at Rodney Parade.
