Newport are also two wins from two after beating champions Llandovery 46-26 at Church Bank.<\/p>\n
The Drovers, who lost their opening fixture at Pontypool, started the better as number eight Daniel Gemine crossed for the opener.<\/p>\n
But the visitors dominated the remainder of the half as scrum-half Dafydd Buckland grabbed two tries and wing Oli Andrew, lock Ethan Phillips and flanker Hunter Ward touched down.<\/p>\n
Fly-half Ioan Hughes added to Gemine’s try for Llandovery in the first half, and they continued their fightback to get the four-try bonus thanks to scores by wing Aaron Warren and replacement back Joshua Thomas.<\/p>\n
Newport sealed a comfortable victory – and earned an extra bonus point – thanks to tries by flanker Tiehl Chatham and centre Brogan Leary.<\/p>\n
Cardiff are the third team to have won twice after a 49-35 win against Swansea at the Arms Park.<\/p>\n
Back-row forward Tirion Bowen, hooker Tom Howe and lock Tom Cottle scored for Cardiff in the first half, but Swansea led 23-21 thanks to wing Brandon Wood’s double and a try by centre Jack Hoskins.<\/p>\n
Wood completed his hat-trick to stretch the Whites’ lead, but Cardiff responded impressively through prop Ioan Emanuel, full-back Isaac Marsh, centre Jason Harries and wing Dewi Cross.<\/p>\n
Cardiff were denied an extra bonus point by fly-half Josh Phillips’ late try.<\/p>\n
Bridgend held off a spirited Pontypool comeback for a 50-38 away win.<\/p>\n
The Ravens stormed to a 31-7 lead inside 25 minutes as wing Ben Evans, flanker Tom Jevons, wing McCauley Rowley (2) and centre Ryan Wilkins all crossed, with centre Ryan Conbeer adding a sixth first-half try for the visitors.<\/p>\n
Pontypool clawed the score back to 43-38 thanks to tries by locks Liam Antrobus and Dan Hill, flanker Scott Matthews, scrum-half Ellis Lewis, fly-half Evan Lloyd, wing Rhys Cole, but Rowley completed his hat-trick to secure the victory.<\/p>\n
Rygbi Gogledd Cymru (RGC) claimed their first win of the season by beating Carmarthen Quins 36-29 in Colwyn Bay.<\/p>\n
Prop Pedr Jones, full-back Dion Jones, centre Danny Cross, wing Sam Jones, hooker Osian Burt scored tries for RGC, while Quins left with a pair of bonus points thanks to a penalty with the last kick by Madoc Evans.<\/p>\n
