RGC 1404 were able to leapfrog Pontypool and move into third place in the SWALEC Championship thanks to their 37-6 home win over Cardiff Met.

A 16th straight win for Bargoed stretched their lead at the top of the SWALEC Championship to 15 points after yet another convincing performance, this time at the expense of struggling Llanharan.

Weather permitting, the SSE Swalec Cup will kick-off at the BT Sport Arms Park when Bridgend travel to the Welsh capital for a clash with Cardiff that will rekindle memories of their epic cup battles in the eighties.

SWALEC Championship leaders Bargoed warmed-up for their SWALEC Cup clash with Premiership champions Pontypridd with a five try demolition of Pontypool to make it 14 wins in succession.
