The Dragons look to continue their unbeaten home streak in their clash with Bath this weekend (Saturday, 15th October, Rodney Parade, 2:30pm). With key players, such as Luke Charteris and Toby Faletau, still in New Zealand with the Welsh squad, the Dragons continue to bring fresh faces onto the field. With strong performances in recent matches from other young players, the Men of Gwent will be looking to find more rising stars from the region.
"This hasn't been an overnight thing," said Dragons Assistant Coach, Danny Wilson, who will be heading the coaching team for the Bath match, "These young players have been preforming well, week in and week out in the Premiership, and they've come up to regional rugby because of it. It's the same as what's working so well for the Wales squad in the World Cup and we're expecting similar results."
