The Blue and Blacks are looking to get back to winning ways as they travel to St Helens to face Swansea.

The last time these two met was back in April this year, it finished 29-8 to the Blue and Blacks. On that occasion, Joe Goodchild and Joe Williams both scored. The last 5 meetings between the two are all in favour of the Blue and Blacks, 29-8, 45-0, 27-20,17-10, and 24-5.

You have to go back to April 13th 2019 when The Whites were victorious 20-17 after a late try from Swansea’s Ryan Griffiths. 

Swansea have only won one game in the last five and that came against West Wales rivals Carmarthen Quins when they ran out a 25-18 victory. The other four losses have been against RGC 1404, Aberavon, Merthyr and Pontypridd. 

Cardiff come into this game on the back of back-to-back defeats to Gwent sides Pontypool and Newport but have recorded two bonus point wins as the Blue and Blacks sit in seventh. The Whites on the other hand sit in 10th on the same points as the Welsh Commandos (Pontypridd).
