GUINNESS PRO12 FIXTURES ANNOUNCED

Newport Gwent Dragons can confirm fixtures for the 2016/17 Season, with dates and times agreed for all matches to be played up to and including Friday 6th January.

Jon Pallett | 13/07/2016

“After listening to feedback from both the clubs and fans, we have been able to take initial steps to restructure our season that puts the emphasis on creating the best experience possible for supporters” said Martin Anayi, Managing Director of PRO12 Rugby.

A new regular ‘appointment to view’ time of 19:35 on a Friday evening has been introduced for the new season. This ensures fans know where to catch the action, with the majority of Friday evening matches will take place at this time during the season.

“In Wales, we have managed to open a weekly Saturday evening slot on S4C – with the amount of Sunday games reduced to just three across the whole season – including two on New Year’s Day. This is something the fans in Wales had been asking us for and we are happy we could get it in place for this season” Anayi continued. 

Newport Gwent Dragons open their campaign away to Ulster on Friday 2nd September at Kingspan Stadium where they are likely to come up against 2016 European Player of the Year nominee Charles Piutau in his first match in an Ulster shirt.

The Dragons then host Zebre on Friday 9th September (K.O. 19:15) in their first PRO12 match of the season at Rodney Parade. 

The Men of Gwent then welcome Munster, Glasgow Warriors, Connacht and Edinburgh Rugby to Rodney Parade before Christmas with three Friday night matches, one on Saturday afternoon and one Sunday afternoon.

Away trips have also been confirmed to Benetton Treviso, Scarlets, Ospreys and Leinster before Christmas.

The Festive Fixtures see the Dragons travel to BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park on Boxing Day for a Derby against Cardiff Blues before hosting Ospreys at Rodney Parade on New Year’s Day.
