Introduced by Cliff Morgan
Gilbert Bennett reports from the Brewery Field, Bridgend

One of the major topics of Rugby Union football discussions in Britain at the moment is the introduction of some form of competitive league system of matches. The top sixteen Welsh clubs have in fact been taking part in an 'unofficial' championship for many years, and a club's position on that table has become a matter of great importance.
Both Bridgend and Newport have won this unofficial championship title in recent seasons, and the standard of rugby in both clubs is as high now as at any time in their individual histories. Both clubs have been playing traditionally hard Welsh forward rugby throughout the first half of the season, and at the same time emulating the mighty Sixth. All Blacks who capitalised on intensive forward domination with some attacking back play at every opportunity. Today's match is undoubtedly one of the most interesting fixtures in the country.
