Marc Roberts, WRU Performance Director for North Wales, is looking for big improvement from the Scarlets games
'Both RGC age-grade squads will be looking to bounce back from opening day defeats in their second round of matches in this years Regional Age-Grade Championship when they face the Dragons on Sunday. The Under 18s who face their Dragons counterparts at Newbridge Rugby Club on Sunday,KO 12.30pm, will be looking for a more complete performance than they managed against the Scarlets a fortnight ago. Then in spite of dominating the opening period and finishing the stronger,the opening 15 minutes of the second half saw them concede 3 tries leading ultimately to a 32-20 defeat. Their squad is packed with players from last years competition and they will be more than hopeful of winning their first game in this years Championship.
For the Under 16s, their first game in the Regional age-grade competition, also against the Scarlets a fortnight ago, saw them concede 4 tries in a 20 points to nil defeat. This Sundays game, being played at Ebbw Vale's Eugene Cross Park 1.30 KO, will give them the chance to show how much they as players learnt from their initial experience of regional Rugby.'
Marc Roberts, the WRU Performance Manager for North Wales (pictured), said "Both squads are disappointed with their performances from last week. Most would agree that as a region we are making progress but last weeks performances fall below the high standards that the players coaches and management have set for themselves. Both Squads have responded well the review of the scarlets game and have trained hard for the Dragons"
