Lot of work still to do at the Dragons. Signing the likes of Hibbard who’s coasting to retirement won’t do them any good at all.
Ospreys way behind Connacht too right now. If you were a fan you’d tear your hair out no one putting their hands up for a run with the starting strongest XV.

Lots of players there with a bit of form behind them already, particularly Kelleher for Leinster and Robb for Connacht.

Strong benches for both too.

Dylan Hartley has retired.

Good riddance.

Himself and "Fellas" Barnes can get together for a few scoops and discuss old times:
