Ebbw Vale RFC Chairman, Jon Jones added: “I am delighted to welcome the Newport Gwent Dragons warm up fixture against Northampton Saints to Eugene Cross Park.
“The club fully supports the fixture and welcomes the opportunity for rugby fans in the area to watch top internationals, such as Taulupe Faletau, and George North, play at the ground.
“The Dragons should be applauded for bringing such a high profile fixture to North Gwent and Ebbw Vale RFC sincerely hope that this will be the start of regular visits to the ground by our region.
