The first televised game of the Magners league season is played in monsoon conditions. The rain did not relent. Most unseasonal for early September. The Dragons were led by their new captain Tom Willis, a hooker from New Zealand. Their other main new signing was no.10 James Arlidge, another New Zealand player from the Japan leagues.
It was a very forgettable game. No tries were scored and it turned into a battle for territory through the fly-halves. The Glasgow ten Dan Parks began to dominate the tactical kicking in the second half. The game was effectively over when the Dragons full back Shaun Connor was sin-binned for a professional foul with twenty minutes to go. Fussell and Bearman had solid games for the home side.
My man of the match: Dan Parks
