Team to take on RGC

 

Carmarthen Quins travel north this weekend to take on RGC at Stadiwm CSM, Bae Colwyn.

A bonus point victory over Pontypool last Saturday sees Quins sitting in fifth position in the Super Rygbi Cymru table with 16 points, just six points behind leaders Cardiff.

Captain Tom Phillips leads a Quins side which features four changes from last weekend’s victorious starting XV.

Scarlets’ loosehead prop Sam O’Connor and number 8 Carwyn Tuipulotu are new additions in the pack whilst there’s a new halfback pairing of Ifan Davies and Rhodri Lewis.

Saturday’s opposition, RGC, currently sit in eighth position with two wins from the opening five rounds, both home victories against Llandovery and Pontypool.

Quins are yet to secure a victory on the road this season and will keen to reverse those fortunes this weekend.
