Newport Gwent Dragons have named a 25 man squad for their trip to Stade Aimé Giral to face Perpignan in Saturday night’s Amlin Challenge Cup Round 5 game.

Ashley Smith, Jason Tovey and Tonderai Chavhanga will all miss the trip to France after being forced off during last weekend’s win against the Ospreys. Lloyd Burns is also absent again this week after his late withdrawal from last week’s squad with illness.

Adam Hughes does return from his ankle injury in time for the Perpignan game and is available for selection. Fly-half Steffan Jones, Scrum -half Jonathan Evans and front rowers Hugh Gustafson and Sam Parry are also called into the squad.
