Carmarthen Quins will welcome Cornish Pirates top Carmarthen Park this Saturday, 7th September, in our final pre-season friendly.
The Super Rygbi Cymru season kicks off in earnest on Saturday 14th September and this Saturday’s clash will be a final opportunity for the new-look coaching team of Lyndon Lewis, Peter Edwards and Tom Phillips, to see the Quins side in action ahead of the competitive season.
Quins will be captained by flanker Gethin Davies, who will be making his 100th appearance for the club.
Davies, 24, made his Quins debut against Newport in April 2018 and has scored five tries. He’s joined in the backrow by newcomer Iestyn Richards on the blindside and seasoned Quin Lewys Millin at number 8.
Former Scarlets prop Rhys Fawcett and hooker Sion Jones, who scored both Quins tries last Saturday, line up with tighthead prop Connor Allen in the front row. Ryan Bean and Josh Helps sure up the scrum in the second row.
The halfback pairing of fly half Osian Jones (23) and Lucca Setaro (20) get their first start of the season.
18-year-old Elis Thomas joins the experienced Ryan Davies in centre field with winger Callum Woolley (18), Louis Rees (23) and Eilir George (22) making up the back three.
