The reigning 6 Nations Champions will be looking to end what has been a poor campaign on a high note when they take on competition whipping boys.
The Dragons have really struggled this term winning only one of their four fixtures, which came in Round 2 where they narrowly beat Scotland 20-17 at the Millenium Stadium.
There was some real fight shown by Wayne Pivac’s side this past weekend as they went down 9-13 to title favourites France. They did well to come back into the fixture having gone down 10-3 early in the first half. They fought back strongly and had it not been for some poor handling, they may well have won the fixture at the death.
taly also managed to give the Scots a real run for their money this past weekend as they produced their best result of the campaign going down 22-33. While it wasn’t the long-awaited win the Azzurri were hoping for, it would have been a decent confidence boost headed into the final round.
Verdict: Wales (-)
I have a feeling the Dragons will let loose here. They are yet to put in a clinical attacking display this term and I reckon they have one in the bag.
