Dragons fly half Sam Davies joined an illustrious band of Welsh regional players at Rodney Parade in the win over Zebre as he became just the seventh player to reach 1,000 points.
His first penalty in the Dragons’ 26-18 triumph took him level with Ceri Sweeney on 1,000 and then his second took him to within 43 of Stephen Jones.
He also went through the 750 points barrier in the Guinness PRO14 on the night.
Another 76 points this season could see him move into third place, but he still has a way to go to catch Dan Biggar. The Wales No 10 notched 2,203 points during his 221 games for the Swansea-based region.
The fly half will be hoping add to his tally and close that gap on Jones when the Dragons take on Ulster in Belfast in their next Guinness PRO14 game on Sunday, October 25.

1. Dan Biggar - 2,203 points
2. Jason Tovey - 1,129 points
3. Ben Blair - 1,078 points
