The majority of the squad have endured a full month of high-intensity training ahead of the three pre-season friendlies against Montpelier, Northampton Saints and Exeter Chiefs.

 

  

 

Next week the Dragons’ internationals will join up with the squad as the second block of pre-season training begins.

New Head Coach Bernard Jackman, has been pleased with how the first block of pre-season has gone. “We’ve had a really good buy in and I have been really happy with the players. We’ve got good players and it’s a big opportunity for them to turn that potential into performance.”

He continued: “Everyone tells me about the potential in Gwent, and there is definitely that here at the Dragons, but we have to be ruthless to turn that potential into results.

“I am really happy with the enthusiasm and the response from the squad, because I have challenged them.

“From day one I have challenged things that I am not happy with and the players have responded really well.

“Nobody has dropped their lip, they have taken things on board and fixed it. That’s all that I want because if everyone was perfect then we wouldn’t have been 11th.”
