In an understandably low-scoring match at a sodden Rodney Parade, Newport-Gwent Dragons emerged victorious against Glasgow. A pitch that resembled a swimming pool; a greasy ball. Not exactly the best ingredients for a eye-catching game of rugby. Nevertheless the Dragons and Warriors tried their hardest to serve up some good entertainment. The match only had one try – Aled Brew’s late effort – but there could have been more. Dragons’ prop Adam Black had an effort ruled out for a knock-on in the first half and Glasgow winger Tom Evans came close to touching down Dan Parks’ kick. Parks notched the sole points of the first half with a penalty, but Ceri Sweeney’s two successes after the break gave the Dragons a narrow lead. Then with time ticking down Brew struck in the corner, and Sweeney rounded off the night with a superb conversion.
