Griffiths & Harris boost for Dragons

22/10/2019

Boss Dean Ryan has revealed pack duo Ollie Griffiths and Brok Harris could both return in Saturday’s big Guinness PRO14 clash with Glasgow Warriors at Rodney Parade (kick-off 3pm).

Griffiths has been out of action since the away league clash with Munster while Harris was forced off early on against Connacht.

“We are pretty sure that Ollie is back on deck and that extra week has been great for Brok,” said Director of Dragons Rugby Ryan.

“It would be huge to have Ollie back because he was in great form – his presence and his calming influence is key.

“Ollie doesn’t say a huge amount, but he has a huge amount of respect within the group, and he makes things happen.

“In the warm-up games he was our most effective line-breaker and you miss quality players like that. I’m delighted he is available again.

“Brok provides certainty at the scrum, to go to the two developing props (Jack Cosgrobve and Josh Reynolds) behind him with Ryan (Bevington) away was a big jump,” added Ryan.

“We would have liked to have done that over 15 to 20 minutes, not over 75. To lose that anchor point in a game made it difficult on a night when it was about kicking and the scrum.

“That’s the challenge, we don’t have a huge amount of depth and when we get injuries we are very quickly into a young group but those are opportunities for them to learn and experiences like Connacht should make them stronger.”
