Bath coach impressed by Dragons grit

Bath head coach Steve Meehan is hoping Newport Gwent Dragons can prove a major stumbling block to rivals Toulouse in Pool Five of the Heineken Cup.

Meehan was forced to watch his own side’s much-vaunted attacking game flounder repeatedly on the Welshmen’s stubborn defence until Andrew Higgins’ 67th-minute game breaker sealed an uncomfortably narrow 13-9 victory at the Recreation Ground.
