"FROM THE COACH"
"Welcome to Rodney Parade for today's Newport match against Cardiff."
"There's a lot of history between Newport and Cardiff and it's always a tough match. We're hoping we'll get a good crowd despite the Wales New Zealand match later this afternoon and hopefully we're provide a great match for all of the supporters and of course try and get the win."
"I'd like to congratulate Sam Waldron and Dan Griffiths who have both reached milestones with us last week. Sam spent some time away from the club but has come back a far better player and it's great to see that he has reached 100 games. As for Dan - 1500 points is an outstanding achievement. He has worked very hard for the team for a long time and deserves recognition for what he has achieved."
"It's great to be back at Rodney Parade after two games on the road. To have been in such a commanding position in the game against Pontypridd to lose by a point so close to the end was very disappointing but I was delighted with the way the boys picked themselves back up to come away and win against Aberavon so we have momentum going into today's game."
"Cardiff are always a tough side to play against but looking at their recent games we know we'll have our work cut out for us this afternoon. We have watched their televised game against Neath where they put in an outstanding performance, but hopefully we will be able to produce the goods today."
"Thanks for your support and enjoy the match."
