USW Rugby Union 2nd will look to get back to winning ways after falling to a defeat to rivals Cardiff Met 5th last time out.

USW travel to Swansea to play bottom of the league University of Wales Trinity of St David who have only picked up one bonus point so far this season.

The last time UWTSD fielded a team was in the 53-3 defeat to promotion pushers Cardiff University 6th.

USW currently sit in 4th place after three games with seven points, with still over half the season left to go. A win for them in Swansea could pile the pressure on all the teams aiming for that top spot and the promotion that comes with it.

On the other hand, UWTSD will look to start their escape from the drop zone by picking up points as they currently sit on -4, due to not fielding a team on two occasions.

Two very different seasons so far for the two sides facing each other, whilst USW are definitely the favourites, they can’t afford to be complacent when every result is crucial to a successful season.
