Last year the scarlets achieved back to back win against the All Blacks but this season Neath will hope to turn things over when the sides meet at The Gnoll on Saturday as both teams look to further their celtic league campaigns.

Last year Neath fell apart towards the end of the game between the two old rivals in wet conditions at the gnoll where Llanelli recorded a great victory. This year Neath will look to get victory over the scarlets at the gnoll for the first time since the 1999/2000 season. It should be a very close encounter between two quite evenly matched teams who both want to be branded the number 1 team in Wales. Both sides have recorded wins against Caerphilly with Llanelli conceding a bonus point. Neath are currently higher in the table than Llanelli who fell to Munster at Stradey two weeks ago. Neath have got a one hundred percent winning record so far this season and will look to keep it when the sides colide at the John Smiths Gnoll,on Saturday September 14th at 5:30pm. DON'T MISS IT!
