This Saturday there’s a switch of focus for Pontypridd RFC, the team park the league for a week as they prepare to take on Bridgend in the Welsh Cup. The match at Sardis Road kicks off at 2:30pm.
The WRU have today announced the return of senior rugby in Wales following a week hiatus as a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II passing away.
