Pooler are unbeaten this season, including knocking out current second-placed Premiership club Carmarthen Quins 23-8 in the last round, and will no doubt relish their underdogs tag after normally starting every league match as favourites due to the controversial ring-fencing of the Premiership.

Carvalhal is now widely admired for his colorful and often lengthy descriptions of his team, and much else besides, but gave his briefest analysis yet after only his third defeat in 17 matches.
