Reaction from Filo Tiatia following the Dragons' 35-12 victory over Newcastle Red Bulls at Rodney Parade, the results over the last month at home have been something that supporters have long deserved. www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/257735...

Angus O'Brien is actually the best player on earth

Dragons say they did everything to retain Aaron Wainwright with “financial terms that surpassed all others to remain with us.” They also say that they “will continue to build and shape our squad for the 2026/27 season and look forward to making positive announcements soon.”

“A left peg that David Beckham would be proud of.” In terms of touch finders, this is pretty decent from hooker Oli Burrows! What a season he’s having.

Can you ask Gareth to read out the lottery numbers please - everything he says comes true! Magor Minis in the Guard of Honour and a BP win against the worst team in Wales! 2026 sure started well for me #WeAreGwentRugby #DRAvSCA

DRAGONS UNBEATEN IN 2026.

@dragonslairpodcast.bsky.social Another victory pod boys! I know Rio was MoM and I'm happy for Rio but I thought Keddie was outstanding, my MoM by a mile. Merry Christmas boys. 🎅🏻 Gareth's prediction is coming true. #suftmog #WeAreGwentRugby

Merry Xmas to our lovely listeners. What a performance. #SUFTMOG | #URC

We are pleased that Dragons continue to call out the WRU and fight hard against these nonsensical proposals. The master and servant relationship is one of the main reasons we are in this mess. It needs to end now or Welsh rugby will never move forward. www.dragonsrfc.wales/news/2025/no...

That’s our co-owner 💛🖤

This may or not backfire but I’m glad someone is taking a stand against the Union because asking investors to put in 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 money for 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 control of their business is absolutely bonkers. It’s not right and it’s not viable for any of the regions going forward. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Congratulations to captain Cerrig Smith, Carter Pritchard, Nathan Davies, James Talamai, Luke Daniel, Morgan Carter, Rhys Cole and Noah Morgan who have been selected to face France U19s in Massy tomorrow 💛🖤

Dale MacLeod: “The boys can’t wait. We want to get out and put a good performance in and the sooner that Saturday comes the better. We have talked about putting on a performance that we can be proud of. We were well planned before he (Filo) left - we are all good to go.”

Ian Madigan said the scoreline ‘slightly flattered Ulster’ last night and I think he’s right. We deserved more from that game but familiar failings around discipline and defence let us down. Fix those issues and we’ll be more competitive this season and pick up some scalps. #URC

We dropped a new episode today, looking at one of the biggest existential threats to Newport County: what would happen if the Dragons disappeared? Would it leave County homeless? And what would that mean for the city of #Newport? Do give it a listen and a share. #ncafc 🧡🖤

@jbryantcymru.bsky.social @jessicamordenmp.bsky.social @ruthjoneslabour.bsky.social Dear all, given your strong defence of the need for pro rugby to remain in Newport, we'd really appreciate you sharing the podcast episode below where we explore the impacts if the Dragons disappeared.

There has been a big drive in recruitment from the Dragons ahead of the 2025/26 season, here's a piece on two of their new signings, Fine Inisi and Fetuli Paea. Any likes or shares would be greatly appreciated! opensideblog.wordpress.com/2025/09/11/w...
