🏉 What a match! The Dragons soared to victory in Paris, edging out Stade Francais 36-31 to secure their spot in the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-finals! 🔥
From start to finish, the Dragons dazzled with thrilling tries and solid performances. Angus O’Brien, Brodie Coghlan, Chris Coleman, Elliot Dee, and Wyn Jones all crossed the line, proving the team’s mettle against top-tier opposition. Not to mention, O’Brien and Tinus de Beer added crucial points from the tee! 🏆
Star of the show was Aaron Wainwright, who put in an incredible shift with powerful carries and vital tackles to lead his side front and centre. Our Welsh star was a true standout! 🌟
But let’s talk heroics! David Richards went from helping sell tickets last season to playing a pivotal role in a stunning victory today. His performance under the high ball and relentless metres gained made all the difference. And what about Ryan Woodman? With two key lineout steals and 15 tackles, his defensive prowess was unmatched!
Ben Carter was a fortress, commanding the lineouts, while Thomas Young was simply everywhere, adding 14 tackles and disrupting Stade’s advances with superb turnovers. 🛡️
Off the bench, Elliot Dee made a significant impact, including bagging a try, while Wyn Jones snatched the match-winning try in a heart-stopping finale. Harrison Keddie’s brilliant break and pass set the stage for this unforgettable win.
Next up, it’s either Pau or Zebre in the quarters, and after today’s heroics, odds are on the Dragons to keep this momentum going and aim for the last four. 🐉
