The Blue and Blacks hooker, Alun Rees gave me his thoughts ahead of the visit of The Drovers this evening.
Cardiff come into this game on the back of winning 38-23 against Bridgend Ravens at the Cardiff Arms Park. Whereas the visitors made the long journey to North Wales to face RGC and like the The Blue and Blacks they recorded a bonus point win.
Alun Rees said: “It was a good win against a good Bridgend team”.
“We may have left a few points out there but we kept our winning run going and got 5 points in the end which was the most important thing”, he added.
“The boys are all looking forward to the run in towards the end of the season”.
“It feels like we’re hopefully hitting some form at the right time and it’ll be important for us to keep that going to secure a play off spot and hopefully we can get into a potential the semi-final”, Rees said.
Llandovery sit top of the Indigo Premiership table on 70 points whereas The Blue and Blacks sit in fourth on 52 points.
Rees said: “It’s always going to be a tough game against Llandovery.
“They have been the in form team in the league over the last two season.
“Their expansive game is well known but they’ve also got an excellent pack and good driving game so it’ll be tough all over the park.
“We are a bit low on the ground in terms of numbers, but we will go in to throw a few shots and hopefully come out on top, he added.
On Saturday, Joey Tomlinson who was stretchered off the pitch against The Ravens.
He said: “It’s tough seeing anyone have an injury like Joey did, but we were all glad to get the message that he had the all clear.
“Hopefully he is back on the pitch as soon as possible”, he added.
Quick fire questions with Alun:
He said: “My aims are to to play as well as possible and hopefully contribute to us winning some silverware.
When talking about his favourite memories in a Blue and Black shirt, Rees said: “It would be between three moments.
“Number one beating Merthyr to win the league
“Number two winning the cup last year
“Finally, Morgan Allen falling down the stairs at the Gnoll a few weeks ago”, he concluded.
