We are pleased that Dragons continue to call out the WRU and fight hard against these nonsensical proposals.
The master and servant relationship is one of the main reasons we are in this mess. It needs to end now or Welsh rugby will never move forward.

This may or not backfire but I’m glad someone is taking a stand against the Union because asking investors to put in 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 money for 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 control of their business is absolutely bonkers. It’s not right and it’s not viable for any of the regions going forward.

Dale MacLeod: “The boys can’t wait. We want to get out and put a good performance in and the sooner that Saturday comes the better. We have talked about putting on a performance that we can be proud of. We were well planned before he (Filo) left - we are all good to go.”

Ian Madigan said the scoreline ‘slightly flattered Ulster’ last night and I think he’s right. We deserved more from that game but familiar failings around discipline and defence let us down. Fix those issues and we’ll be more competitive this season and pick up some scalps.
