Speaking ahead of the game, head coach Paul Watkin said:
“Both players and coaches are excited and looking forward to tomorrow's game against Scarlets East at the Brewery Field.
“The boys will be in a confident mood off the back of a big win against RGC last week. Our squad of young players have worked extremely hard throughout the summer pre-season in both training and games. We played some great rugby during the rugby festivals which the boys learned a great deal from to take forward into the season. They are improving every game and session.”
Elsewhere, after an outstanding win against the Blues South on Sunday, the Ospreys U18s face the Blues North at the Gnoll, also with a 7pm K.O on Wednesday

Speaking ahead of the game, head coach of the U18’s Kevin James said:
“It’s been an interesting start to the RAG campaign. We learned some harsh lessons during our two friendlies against Northampton and Exeter, which we worked on going into our game against the Blues South at the Arms Park on the weekend where the boys played superb.
“No doubt the Blues North will be a tough challenge and also one of a little uncertainty as this year the Blues U18s have split into two teams. We as always will be respectful of the opposition but the message will be simple heading into the game; Focus on us and in particular the little things, whilst also having the confidence to enjoy and play rugby! Hopefully we will have another good game of rugby.”
