Determined Dragons Travel to Ravenhill
Newport Gwent Dragons Head Coach Paul Turner announces his 25-man squad to face Ulster at Ravenhill in the Magners League on Friday 19th September (kick off 7.30pm).
While the win has gone the way of the home side in the last three matches against Ulster, the Dragons are determined to put in a huge performance after a disappointing start to the Magners League.
Ulster have slipped to four successive defeats with three of those games being played at the fortress of Ravenhill. Head Coach Paul Turner said:
“Ravenhill is always an exciting and vibrant place to play and the boys are looking forward to heading to Belfast this weekend.
“The manner in which we leaked points last weekend against Munster was disappointing and this has been addressed in preparation for yet another away trip.
“The team were buoyed by a superb first half performance against the Scarlets only last week and we need to concentrate on those positives going into this fixture.”
Paul Turner’s squad is as follows:
Jason Tovey, Phil Dollman, Gareth Wyatt, Richard Fussell, Rory Sidey, Ashley Smith, Rhodri Gomer Davies, James Arlidge, Shaun Connor, Wayne Evans, Tom Isaacs, Adam Black, Hugh Gustafson, Tom Willis, Steve Jones, Gethin Robinson, Rhys Thomas, Adam Jones, Adam Brown, Luke Charteris, Jamie Ringer, Joe Bearman, Grant Webb, Dan Lydiate, Richard Parks
Meanwhile, Ulster Head Coach Matt Williams has named a 24 man squad:
Justin Fitzpatrick; Nigel Brady; Tom Court; Rory Best; Brendon Botha; Carlo Del Fava; Ed O'Donoghue; Ryan Caldwell; Chris Henry; Matt McCullough; Kieron Dawson; Robbie Diack; Thomas Anderson; Niall O'Connor; Bryn Cunningham; Paddy Wallace; Timoci Nagusa; Rob Dewey; Darren Cave; Andrew Trimble; Clinton Schifcofske; Cillian Willis; Isaac Boss; Paul Steinmetz
