Dragons have only won once this season in the URC and it’s 18 years since the Newport side tasted their only win at Thomond Park, but Munster forwards coach Graham Rowntree is leaving nothing to chance as they bid for victory before heading to South Africa on Sunday.

Three of Dragons’ seven defeats have been by two points or less this season and their only win came in Ireland when they defeated Connacht 35-22 in October, while champions Leinster were fortunate to escape from Rodney Parade with a 7-6 win.
