A HUGE and historic day of rugby action is lined-up at Colwyn Bay’s Stadiwm CSM tomorrow.

Spectators can watch union and league, with RGC and North Wales Crusaders both in action at the venue, marking the clubs’ first ever double-header.

First up, at 2.30pm, RGC will begin their Super Rugby Cymru play-off quest with their match-up versus Carmarthen Quins.

RGC should head into the match in confident mood after last week’s 59-38 victory over Aberavon.

Crusaders’ big League One showdown with Whitehaven will kick-off at 6pm, with the winners going on to the top of the table.

Whitehaven, coached by former Cru chief Anthony Murray (pictured), are second, while Crusaders are in third.

Last time out Cru beat leaders Midlands Hurricanes 31-18, but head coach Carl Forster says this will count for little if they don’t follow it up tomorrow.

He told Cru TV: “This counts for nothing if we don’t turn up. They had a real tough contest against Workington and they’re well coached.

“We obviously know Muzz (Murray) very well. I know a lot of their boys. Really good team, fight for everything.”
