Dragons head coach Filo Tiatia has insisted he has faith in the Welsh Rugby Union to reach the right decision over the number of professional teams in Wales.

Filo Tiatia believes his Dragons side are beginning to turn a corner as they head to Glasgow Warriors on Saturday, aiming to end a five-year wait for victory at Scotstoun.

It is now 377 days since the Dragons last won a game in the United Rugby Championship, but at least they have stopped losing, as Rob Cole reports.

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson says his side are adapting well to life in the Championship, despite being held to a third successive 1-1 draw – this time at home to Birmingham City.

Ben Carter is back . . . and the Wales and Dragons forward is keen to make up for lost time and opportunities, as he tells Simon Thomas.

Shane Williams and Tom Shanklin have both backed the Ospreys to be the highest finishing Welsh team in the United Rugby Championship this season, as Simon Thomas reports.

Mackenzie Martin has no doubts that the Dragons can find space in their back row for both him and Aaron Wainwright this season.

The Welsh Rugby Union’s plan for just two elite men’s teams already looks dead in the water after it was savaged by one of their own partner regions.

The Dragons have been quick off the mark in rebuilding their squad after a dismal season, with new recruit Fetuli Paea adding extra spice.

Cai Evans had made the breakthrough with two caps for Wales in 2023-24, but his last campaign was a nightmare.

It’s been another desperate season for the Dragons, but at least a clash against the Ospreys will bring back one good memory.

Richard Whiffin has named his Wales U20 men’s side to take on France U20 in Tuesday’s third round of Pool A clashes in the U20 World Championship at Athlone Sports Stadium in Cape Town (UK 3.30pm). Captain Ryan Woodman along with second row Jonny Green and back row Morgan Morse are the only players to be making a third consecutive starting appearance in the showpiece tournament.
