It’s back-to-back Super Rugby Cymru wins for RGC, who won an epic game 61-42 at home to Pontypool.
RGC led 39-21 at the interval thanks to tries from Dion Jones, Sam Stoddard (2), Ilan Evans and Rhys Tudor.
Stoddard completed his hat-trick in the second half and there was also a try for Sam Williams as RGC claimed a victory which moved them up to third in the standings, level on points with leaders Newport.
Director of rugby Josh Leach told the RGC website: “What a manic game of rugby, 60 points in the first half, 103 points overall.
“We can be disappointed with some of the tries we let in, but we showed a great response when we got back in the game after their early scores.
“We went in at half time in a strong position, came out and played well but then settled back and let then in again.
“As a group, we showed good discipline and resilience to dig in and make sure we pushed on.
“We now look to next week and the focus is on our first away trip, and facing Pontypool in the return game which doesn’t normally happen so quickly in the league.”
