02 May BALDWIN KEEN TO STORM THE CAPITAL
As Bridgend Ravens head to Cardiff Arms Park to face table-topping Cardiff in the Super Rygbi Cymru Quarter Final tomorrow, Head Coach Scott Baldwin is looking forward to the occasion.
“The aim is to go and storm the capital and win at the Arms Park. We like to play a high tempo game and the fast pitch and the expected good weather should suit us,” said Baldwin.
“We know Cardiff are so clinical when they get things right, as befits a side that has so many players used to training every day with each other, and we need to keep our energy high and penalty count low. There has been real improvement in our side this season. We just need to find a way to be more consistent.”
Having beaten both Llandovery and Swansea on the way to securing a place in the quarter final tomorrow, Baldwin was in bullish mood with a full strength squad to choose from, including Ospreys Tom Florence who lines up at centre with Matholwch Iorwerth-Scott and Lewis Jones at prop and second row respectively. Wing Mccauley Rowley returns from illness to feature on the wing having missed the previous match against Swansea.
“Two weeks ago, we beat Llandovery in the last play by scoring a try and in the Wild Card game against Swansea last week we had to hold out in the last play to hang on to victory. That showed me what we are capable of.”
I guess we’ll soon see come 4:15pm tomorrow…
