Glasgow prop Rory Sutherland: “We know the Dragons are a team that can cause problems and we’ll absolutely give them all the respect that they deserve. They’re going to be direct and try to get the ball wide to some rapid wingers so we need to be ready for that.” #URC | #GLAvDRA

Aneurin Owen: “Results and where we finished in the table meant it was tough but I genuinely love it every time that I put the jersey on. I just hope that what we went through helps us next season because there were an unprecedented amount of injuries and we just had to get on with it.”

Wales Online reporting Dragons are signing Wales international Mackenzie Martin on loan from Cardiff. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Wales U20s captain Harry Beddall says he’s looking forward to learning off Thomas Young. “I’ve heard that he’s a very good mentor and I am looking forward to learning off him. He’s very good over the ball and in attack, so those are areas where I can definitely pick his brains.“

Dragons winger Ioan Duggan scored two tries as Wales U20s warmed up for the World U20s Championship by beating Italy U20s 47 -19 at the Arms Park.

Great to see the return of talented second-row Nick Thomas after his ankle injury against France in U20s Six Nations. Harry Beddall captain 🫡

Big blow for Wales U20s. Dragons winger Harry Rees-Weldon has been ruled out of the World Rugby U20 Championship after suffering an injury in training. It’s not thought to be a serious injury and the 20-year-old will now target a pre-season return.
