📣 Exciting news from the rugby world! The Dragons are gearing up for a high-stakes Welsh derby against the Ospreys this weekend at Rodney Parade! 🏉 But there’s a twist in the tale: Head coach Filo Tiatia has temporarily returned to New Zealand for personal reasons. Taking the helm in his absence is defence coach Dale MacLeod. Having joined the Dragons this summer from Northland Rugby Taniwha, MacLeod is no stranger to high-pressure games. He’s also collaborated with Tiatia at Moana Pasifika, so rest assured, the team’s in capable hands.
MacLeod is ready to face the challenge head-on, leading the Men of Gwent as they seek their first win of the season. “We were well prepared before Filo left – we’re all set to go,” MacLeod assures fans. With Saturday’s big match against the Ospreys looming, everyone’s eager to see the Dragons break their winless streak. The team hasn’t tasted victory since last September when they last faced the Ospreys. A full week of preparation and an undying spirit mean the Dragons are ready to put on a performance to be proud of!
Let’s cheer on the Dragons as they aim to turn the tide and make their mark this weekend. 🐉🏆 Let’s go, Dragons! 💪🎉#WelshDerby #GoDragons #RugbyReady
