Dragons RFC

Dragons RFC (formerly known as the Newport Gwent Dragons) are one of four professional rugby union sides in Wales. They represent the southeast of Wales in the United Rugby Championship and they regularly compete for European honours in the European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup. The team plays its home games at Rodney Parade in Newport.  

History of the Dragons 

The Dragons RFC side was formed in 2003, when regional rugby union teams were first introduced in Wales. At the time, they were known as the Newport Gwent Dragons. 

The team immediately entered the Celtic League and started life with a bang. In their first ever season, they finished third in the competition. The year after, they came fourth. 

However, since then, the Dragons RFC side has been unable to replicate those early highs and they’ve regularly finished towards the bottom of the Celtic League, Pro12 and Pro14 tables. Since the 2021-22 season, the team has competed in the United Rugby Championship.

Despite their domestic struggles, the team has experienced some success in European competitions over the years. Although they’ve never made it past the pools stage of the European Rugby Champions Cup, they have featured in the tournament on eight occasions. Similarly, the side has featured at the semi-final stage of the European Rugby Challenge Cup three times. Sadly though, they’ve never made it to the final. 

Dragons RFC Squad 

Several giants of Welsh rugby have represented Dragons RFC over the years. For example, five Dragons players have been called up to play for the British and Irish Lions while playing for the team. These are Michael Owen, Gareth Cooper, Dan Lydiate, Taulupe Faletau and Cory Hill. 

The current Dragons squad also includes a number of international players, including tighthead prop Leon Brown, hooker Elliott Dee and wing Rio Dyer.
