Was certainly a challenge covering two pro clubs solo after bosses made Covid cuts, but also a pleasure thanks to so many good people. Not sure on the Argus' plan is for sport (& coverage was already going to be cut). They'll have some sort of presence but not from me. 👋 2/2

Today is my last day on @argussport (although I'll be doing Japan v Wales off TV tomorrow). Thanks for those who have read my stuff on Dragons, County, Gwent rugby & other stuff from the patch. Hopefully I’ve given you an entertaining few minutes every day. (1/2).

Dragons learn their group rivals for the Challenge Cup but which of four of the five they will play, and where, is still TBC. It'd make sense to host the Lions and Newcastle after last season's games, but European rugby doesn't work like that... southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/…

The Dragons needed summer signings after a nightmare season. However, we shouldn't expect miracles from new recruits, this will take a few windows of steady growth. A long read on a big recruitment drive & where the Dragons are in the pecking order. ⤵️ southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/…
