Steve Law’s men will be looking to benefit from home advantage as they seek their second win of this year’s campaign.

“We must make sure we take advantage of playing on our own patch and gain a victory,” said head coach Law.

“We were pleased to gain a four-try bonus point last week at Pontypridd, some of our attacking play was very good. However other aspects of our play left me disappointed and frustrated.

“The boys have worked hard in training to right the wrongs we picked up from the video analysis, and I expect them to eliminate these shortcomings from their game”.

Bedwas shuffle their pack with recalls for Phillip Sargent and Kyle Maiden with Josh Tyler and Simon Grainger stepping down. Behind the scrum, Scott Williams comes in to make his debut in place of Jack Dixon who is on the replacements bench.

Swansea will be in confident mood as they travel to Bedwas after a 32-13 win over Aberavon last weekend. The All Whites ran in four tries for a well-deserved bonus point last week though their last away trip saw them slip to a 9-23 loss to Neath.
