Gough and Thomas boost Dragons starting XV

Lock Ian Gough and hooker T. Rhys Thomas return to the Dragons starting XV, as they take on the Scarlets at Parc Y Scarlets on Sunday 5th October, KO 16:00.

Director of Rugby, Lyn Jones has made just two changes to the winning team that faced Benetton Treviso last weekend.

Skipper Lee Byrne retains his place at fullback alongside international wingers Tom Prydie and Hallam Amos. The centre pairing of Ben John and Ashley Smith also remains in place after an impressive performance last weekend. Fly half Jason Tovey also gets the nod along with scrum half Jonathan Evans.

The front row has one change to it as T. Rhys Thomas is named as hooker alongside props Boris Stankovich and Dan Way. There is also one change to the second row as Ian Gough steps in to take his place alongside Rynard Landman. The back row remains the same as last weekend as Andy Powell, Nic Cudd and Taulupe Faletau all keep their places in the starting XV.

Jones has made two changes to the replacements bench as Elliot Dee and Richie Rees join Hugh Gustafson, Lloyd Fairbrother, James Thomas, Lewis Evans, Angus O’Brien and Aled Brew.
