A three-man Dragons contingent had a first meeting with the WRU as part of the consultation process on Tuesday. Fair to say they let them know they aren't impressed with the plans.

Was certainly a challenge covering two pro clubs solo after bosses made Covid cuts, but also a pleasure thanks to so many good people. Not sure on the Argus' plan is for sport (& coverage was already going to be cut). They'll have some sort of presence but not from me. 👋. 2/2.

Today is my last day on @argussport (although I'll be doing Japan v Wales off TV tomorrow). Thanks for those who have read my stuff on Dragons, County, Gwent rugby & other stuff from the patch. Hopefully I’ve given you an entertaining few minutes every day. (1/2).

Chuffed for Chris Coleman, who is set for his Wales debut after another strong campaign for the Dragons. Baffled for Elliot Dee, who misses out again, while Rhodri Williams pays the price for not making an impact when left on the bench last week.

No surprise that playmaker Jac Lloyd's superb form for Newport has earned a deal with the Dragons. Also a welcome return for versatile David Richards, a classy player who deserves better luck with injuries. They add more depth to the backs for 25/26.

Report as Wales inch ahead of the Dragons in battle of the Test versus URC losing streaks (18 v 17). Not sure how they managed that. Safe approach got them in strong position but arguably they'd have killed it off with a bit more bravery from there.

Sapping heat out there in Japan. Still, at least Rhodri Williams kept nice and cool in the shade of the bench. Baffling!.

Wales playing it very safe by going to the boot so much. Frustrating but understandable given the losing streak, and it's tough to be too critical when not there to experience what must be horrendous playing conditions.

Leicester/Sale is going to be a stinker tomorrow because this is too good. Lump on Tigers/Sharks to win the title as well because surely they can't hit these heights again?!.
