DISCUSSION POINTS

Last season Dragons managed to clock up only two wins in the league. However, everyone at the region believes that such turmoil was inevitable as boss Bernard Jackman began laying the foundations for massive changes.

The Dragons have now cleared house, with a huge turnover of personnel in the off-season. Improvements are now a must.

With two very well-known names coming in, as Ross

Moriarty and Richard Hibbard swap Gloucester for Gwent, there is some hope that results can begin to solidify. There have been bodies shifting around Jackman’s coaching team too, but after years of being blown away, fans will now demand an end to excuses and for results to roll in.

One of last season’s big positives was the number of youngsters blooded in the top flight by the region. These kids must continue to climb higher.
