Dragons name squad to face Connacht

The Dragons’ Sevens World Cup winning trio Aled Brew, Tal Selley and Tom Issacs have been named in the Dragons' squad to travel to Connacht for the Magners League match on Friday (6:30pm).

“We’ve prepared really well for this game,” said head coach Paul Turner.

“Connacht are a very good side on their home patch and we have had difficulties getting results over in Galway in past seasons. We are well aware of the difficulties of playing in Galway but are buoyed by our recent form and a great spirit within the Dragons’ camp.

“We are always well aware of our need to move up the Magners League over the coming weeks and we see this as a vital game enabling us to do that.”
