Dragons sign ex-Wales U20s prop from Scarlets
By Online Editors
Dragons have signed prop Rhys Fawcett on a short-term loan deal from Scarlets.
Former Wales Under-20 international Fawcett has joined up with his new team-mates ahead of the Guinness PRO14 fixture with Munster this weekend.
Haverfordwest-born Fawcett made his Scarlets debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, having worked his way through the Academy system at the region.
The dynamic 22-year-old, who is strong in the set piece and mobile around the pitch, represented Wales Under-20s during the 2016 Six Nations as they claimed the Grand Slam.
Head Coach Ceri Jones said: “Rhys has joined us on a short-term deal and boosts our front row resources, particularly with the likes of Ryan Bevington and Aaron Jarvis currently ruled out.
“Rhys is a talented young front row who is eager to make an impression in senior rugby, after impressing for Wales Under-20s and in the Academy system.
“We are pleased to have him join us and look forward to seeing Rhys make an impression in our set-up.”

I will consider such. But I think outliers like Rod Macqueen are difficult to plan for and or identify logically.
But I’ll keep an open mind and include Rod Macqueen in my assessment.
Go to commentsi think Argentina v France could be a good game too, depending on which Argentina turns up. The most difficult to call is Scotland Australia.
