Match Information | Dragons v Benetton

06/03/2020

Dragons face Benetton tonight in the rearranged Guinness PRO14 clash at Rodney Parade following Storm Dennis (kick-off 7.35pm). 

Dean Ryan’s men have won their last five games in all competitions on home soil, including league derby wins over Ospreys and the Scarlets.

Following derby wins over Zebre at Christmas Benetton arrive in Newport on the back of defeats at home to Glasgow and away to Cardiff Blues either side of Champions Cup losses to Northampton Saints and Leinster. Earlier this season they also lost narrowly to Ospreys and Scarlets.

However, last season Benetton did the double over Dragons with a convincing victory in Italy, following a four point win at Rodney Parade in the opening game of the 2018/19 campaign.

  • • Dragons last victory over Benetton was January 2017
