Two Wales players among 7 more Dragons departures
By Ian Cameron
Wales pair Sam Davies and Rob Evans have been added to the list of nine players that will depart the Dragons when all is said and done at the end of the season.
Flyhalf Davies is set to leave Rodney Parade after an impressive run of 557 points in 70 games. The club expressed their best wishes for Davies, who stands third in their all-time scoring charts.
Davies is not alone in his departure, as lock Huw Taylor will also be leaving the club after playing 51 games over five seasons. Prop Rob Evans, back rows Ben Fry and Lennon Greggains, and utility back Ioan Davies will also be leaving the Dragons RFC.
Wales international lock Will Rowlands will also be departing the club after two seasons, while Ross Moriarty left the club earlier this month for an opportunity to play overseas. Additionally, Senior Academy player Ben Moa will also be leaving the club with best wishes from the Dragons RFC.
Cory Allen is already no longer with the team, having retired from professional rugby earlier in the season.
Head Coach Dai Flanagan said: “It’s never an easy time of the year when we say goodbye to a number of players, and we thank them all for their commitment and dedication during their time with Dragons.
“Sam leaves his mark as the third highest point scorer in our history while players like Huw and Ross have proudly represented the club on over 50 occasions.
“However, it’s important to recognise that every single player has had a role to play and been a part of our story.
“We wish all our departing players every success for the future and look forward to welcoming them back to Rodney Parade soon.”
DEPARTURES: Sam Davies, Rob Evans, Huw Taylor, Will Rowlands, Ross Moriarty, Ioan Davies, Lennon Greggains, Ben Fry, Cory Allen

Simply outrageous and demonstrably false to say Finau’s tackle on Lynagh was “2 seconds late” In reality it was probably 0.5 seconds after he passed the ball. If you carry the ball at speed to within 5m of the defensive line you can expect to get tackled. Finau could have pulled out of it and not absolutely flattened him for sure, but there was going to be contact either way. He seems like a high risk selection at the moment, but there is no one else like him in NZ at the moment. His big tackles make the highlight reels but he is also a great athlete, very fast for such a big man, spent most of his days at lock so also very strong in the line out.
