WITH work to develop Pontypool RFC's historic grounds almost complete, we look back at some highlights from the club.
Based in Pontypool Park and with their red, white and black kit, the club has played host to some great moments in the history of rugby - and famously faced New Zealand in October 1989.
Here are some archive photographs in celebration of Pooler.
