Sunday night was one for celebration as the Dragons pulled off a stunning comeback against Lyon in the European Challenge Cup. After lagging 15 points behind, the Dragons roared back in the last quarter-hour to secure a thrilling victory, ending a tough winless streak of 364 days! 🙌
All eyes were on the replacements’ bench, where 21-year-old Ryan Woodman absolutely shone! ⭐ Woodman was instrumental in the game-changing performance by running the lineout, with all three of the Dragons’ tries coming from driving mauls. Kudos to Filo Tiatia’s side for trusting the young guns! 🐲🔥
Legendary pundit Alex Cuthbert hailed the impact of newcomers like Woodman and Che Hope, saying, “The Dragons bench was the difference. Woodman was superb in setting up that winning opportunity!” With whispers of Woodman already catching the eyes of Wales selectors, could we see him strutting his stuff in the 2027 World Cup? 🤔 Who’s excited to watch this young talent rise?
