Heavy rain in the Swansea area on Saturday morning made the St Helen's pitch unplayable. Montgomery, who only arrived in Wales on Thursday, had told his new coach Leigh Jones that he was itching to get his first taste of Welsh rugby. But he is now unlikely to be able to play a competitive match for Newport until next month. Newport had been quietly confident of ending their 25-year wait for a win at St Helen's. The Black and Ambers opened their Welsh Premiership campaign with a win against Caerphilly on Tuesday, and were fancying their chances against a struggling Swansea side. |
