Injuries may douse the Dragons’ fire

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have delayed naming their team to face Munster amid a catalogue of injuries ahead of the Heineken Cup clash.

Coach Paul Turner has named a 27-man squad for Saturday’s game at Rodney Parade, including Lions Gareth Cooper and Michael Owen as well as Wales centre Ceri Sweeney.

However, he also immediately ruled out three of those players through injury. Wales Grand Slam stars Kevin Morgan (ankle) and Hal Luscombe (broken thumb) are both unlikely to play this week while captain Jason Forster is struggling to shake off a groin injury. That follows the loss of Gareth Wyatt with a dislocated elbow.
