Interesting point in scrapping conversions - but looking at the remaining fixtures, it seems unlikely that we will win on try count. Unfortunately, our remaining matches are all too tough for us to throw caution to the wind and still win.

Both us and Aberavon have to play Tondu and Bonymaen. Their other games are against Merthyr (oh no!) and Dunvant, ours are against Whitland (who have hit form) and Bedwas.

I think our best hope is that we beat Tondu at home and Aberavon lose to them away.
