Ebbw Vale vs Pontypridd Preview

By Alex Kinsella-Evans

Before training we caught up with Strength and Conditioning coach Nicky Strange. 

Looking back at the Carmarthen game, Nicky thought the defence was superb and the hunger to compete never fails. He acknowledged the decision making and mistakes were letting the team down. However, he believes if they are fixed, Ebbw will be a great side. 

Looking forward to the weeks training and game against Pontypridd, Nicky is hoping all the lads turn up hungry Tuesday ready to work towards a big effort Thursday against a good Pontypridd team. He acknowledged any slips ups now could mean the end of the season so it`s a no excuses kind of message which he tends to live by on a daily basis. 

Nicky added considering Arran only had a few sessions to make a few adjustments, he was very impressed and hopefully the improvement in the lineout and scrum continues for the rest of the season. 

Finally, Nicky advised the mood after the game was good and acknowledged it always is when the team win. However, the squad are aware they can be a lot better and if the team get it right they are a match for anyone.
