Following the immediate signing of the Stormers’ Chris Hollis on Monday on a short-term deal, the Dragons followed it up by signing Tonga and Moana Pasifika ahead of next season.

      The 23-year-old is capable of playing in the centres, on the wing and at fullback, and at 6ft 3in and 15st 2lbs, he will add some power to the Dragons’ midfield.

      “I’m excited at the prospect of becoming a Dragon and linking up with my new team-mates this summer,” said Wilson after signing.

      “I’ve spoken to Dai Flanagan about the club’s vision and targets going forward and look forward to being a big part of a new look squad and testing myself in a new competition. It’s a big opportunity for me to move to Wales and a new challenge that I plan to fully embrace.

      “Finally, thank you to my team-mates, the coaches, and fans at the Waratahs for their support over the last few seasons. I’ll be giving absolutely everything for a strong end to this Super Rugby season.”

      Head coach Dai Flanagan added: “We’re really excited to bring Harry to Wales and to see the impact he can have in our environment.

      “He is a great athlete and talented young centre, who can also operate in the wide channels. The fact he can play multiple positions will be a real asset to us.

      “Harry arrives with Super Rugby experience and is a player with a big future. We’re looking forward to seeing him represent the Dragons.”

      Antoine Dupont undergoes surgery on injured knee ahead of long absence

      Rugby incident, happens scores of times in a game. Dupont wasn’t even hit with much force, Beirne just clears him and force is added from behind from Furlong.

      We can’t have special treatment for France just because their star is the one who gets unlucky.

      There is already a lack of clarity around actual Written decisions and how they differ from bans.

      For example, Mauvaka the official written decision states Mauvaka to have made a ‘reckless’, ‘deliberate’, shot ‘to the head’ of a ‘player in a vulnerable position’ on the ground. That’s a high level entry ban of 10 weeks. However, the press release did not show ‘reckless’ or ‘vulnerable player’ ticked alloweing Mauvaka to enter at the 6 match mid range.

      Similarly Ntamack’s written report showed that it was a ‘reckless’, ‘head shot’ with ‘injury’. The injury was a fully displaced nose bone and Ntamack apologizes for the injury in the written report. This should give Ntamack an entry level of 6 weeks but in the Press Release ‘Injured’ is unticked meaning Ntamack gets away with a 4 week entry ban. This is not counting the fact that the world knows he deliberately injured Thomas.

      No. France have been abusing the system for years, recently spreading disinformation about the Ringrose ban in order to undermine confidence in the process.

      Giving France even more special treatment is not the answer.
