Dragons Preseason

The preseason games started with a 19 - 34 loss to a strong Dragons side. Bristol were in last season's kit and some of last season's frailties were on view. The first Dragons' try was a result of poor defensive alignment, supporting runners weren't always on hand (in contrast to the Welsh region) and there were some aimless kicking. On the other hand the forward effort was impressive, with both lineout and scrum functioning well.
