Welsh Rugby Union : Newsroom : Pooler brushed aside by RGC 1404

Completing the fourth win against Principality Premiership opposition in consecutive weeks, RGC1404 demolished table tail-enders Pontypool with a 12-2 try count with a 10-78 rout.

Playing down the famous slope and under the watchful eye of former Pooler legends Ray Prosser and Graham Price, RGC1404 steamrollered the once mighty Pontypool pack with a series of devastating driving mauls. With Buydens, Hall and Marshall controlling the scrums, Phelan and Cudmore dominating the line outs, the back row of Davies, Kyne and in particular Sinclair ran riot.

With Sean White controlling events at fly half, RGC1404 led 47-5 at half time with a brace of tries from centre Nick Blevins and further scores from Josh Leech, Jebb Sinclair, Jeremy Kyne, Hubert Buydens and the impressive White with the extras added by full back Rhodri Carlton Jones.

Pontypool's only response was a try after 25 minutes from centre Phil Price.

The second half saw Kyne collecting his second try of the match with others from Mike Hall, Tom Seddon, Joe Sproston and the last score from Dylan Gwyn Owen with conversions from Gareth Evans. Pontypool's only retort was from No.8 Luke Dychkoff.
