REGIONAL SQUAD

The Western Mail has today reported that they know the squad for next season. Whilst nothing official has been said I think that this is probably the squad that will form the Bridgend Pontypridd team for next season.

On Friday I prepared an article for ValleysRavens.tk which gave my predicted squad and the squad was virtually the same although I hadn't included Geraint Morris, the young Ponty prop or Huw Harries who may be drafted in during the World Cup. I happen to think that Gareth Baber would be a better option to Harries but other than that the squad looks quite impressive.
