Head Coach, Mark Jones, said: “The Dragons are a very physical team, very smart around the contact area, and they’re trying to express themselves with the ball from deeper positions recently. 

“Our fanbase has been great since I’ve been at the club. This is our opportunity to give them something to smile about and to also give them a bit of hope, before we head out to South Africa, as to what the end of the season might look like.”

It's the last one at home this season and the boys will be coming pitch-side after the game for signings. Don't miss it 👇
