Swansea have been struggling for any sort of form in the
Principality Premiership this season, but they can again put aside the stresses
and strains of league rugby to look forward to a plum tie at Rodney Parade if
Newport progress.
If top Premiership side Bedwas can overcome Llandovery in
their yet-to-be-played first round encounter, then they will travel to
Carmarthen Quins.
Elsewhere, the winner of the all-Championship tie between
Ebbw Vale and Newbridge will be rewarded with a trip to Cardiff RFC’s Arms Park
stadium, where the hosts narrowly overcame a plucky Cardiff Met side in round
one.
Tata Steel will play host to Pontypridd in another fixture
seeing a Championship side trying to topple a Premiership opponent.
An all-Championship encounter will see the winner of
Blackwood and Pontypool taking on Glamorgan Wanderers, with all three teams
looking to put disappointing league campaigns aside in the hope of Cup glory.
