Bernard Jackman’s men will hit the regional road to face Hong Kong – also known as the Dragons - on Monday, October 29 (kick-off 7.30pm) at Ebbw Vale RFC.
Rugby World Cup 2019 bound Russia will then be the opposition at Bedwas RFC on Friday, November 16 (kick-off 7.30pm).
Dragons previously faced Russia in a friendly at Rodney Parade in 2011 as a warm-up encounter for the World Cup in New Zealand – a game they won 40-12.
Head Coach Bernard Jackman said: “Both games are completely different types of events and opposition than we normally play in the PRO14 or in European competition, so the players are definitely excited by it.
“Both Russia and Hong Kong are looking to compete in the Rugby World Cup and we have close links with both nations, with ex-Dragons coaches Leigh Jones and David Rees involved with Hong Kong and Lyn Jones coaching Russia. Shaun Connor is also involved with Russia as well.
“The majority of our players are homegrown and they’ve come from small or big clubs within the region so it’s good to go back,” he added. “To bring two more games under the Dragons umbrella to a regional club side is exciting for everyone.”
