Flyhalf Davies is set to leave Rodney Parade after an impressive run of 557 points in 70 games. The club expressed their best wishes for Davies, who stands third in their all-time scoring charts.

Davies is not alone in his departure, as lock Huw Taylor will also be leaving the club after playing 51 games over five seasons. Prop Rob Evans, back rows Ben Fry and Lennon Greggains, and utility back Ioan Davies will also be leaving the Dragons RFC.

Wales international lock Will Rowlands will also be departing the club after two seasons, while Ross Moriarty left the club earlier this month for an opportunity to play overseas. Additionally, Senior Academy player Ben Moa will also be leaving the club with best wishes from the Dragons RFC.

Cory Allen is already no longer with the team, having retired from professional rugby earlier in the season.

Head Coach Dai Flanagan said: “It’s never an easy time of the year when we say goodbye to a number of players, and we thank them all for their commitment and dedication during their time with Dragons.

“Sam leaves his mark as the third highest point scorer in our history while players like Huw and Ross have proudly represented the club on over 50 occasions.

“However, it’s important to recognise that every single player has had a role to play and been a part of our story.

“We wish all our departing players every success for the future and look forward to welcoming them back to Rodney Parade soon.”

DEPARTURES: Sam Davies, Rob Evans, Huw Taylor, Will Rowlands, Ross Moriarty, Ioan Davies, Lennon Greggains, Ben Fry, Cory Allen

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

All you can do is hate on SA. Jealousy makes you nasty and it's never a good look. Those who actually knows rugby is all talking about the depth and standards of the SA players. They don't wear blinders like you. The NH had many years to build the depth and players for multiple competition the SA teams didn't. There will be growing pains. Not least travel issues. The NH teams barely have to travel to play an opponent opposed to the SA teams. That is just one issue. There is many more issues, hence the "growing pains". The CC isn't yet a priority and this is what most people have a problem with. Saying SA is disrespecting that competition which isn't true. SA don't have the funds yet to go big and get the players needed for 3 competitions. It all costs a lot of money. It's over using players and get them injured or prioritising what they can deliver with what are available. To qualify for CC, they need to perform well in the URC, so that is where the main priorities is currently. In time that will change with sponsors coming in fast. They are at a distinct disadvantage currently compared to the rest. Be happy about that, because they already are the best international team. You would have hated it if they kept winning the club competitions like the URC and CC every year too. Don't be such a sourmouth loser. See the complete picture and judge accordingly. There is many factors you aren't even aware of at play that you completely ignore just to sound relevant. Instead of being an positive influence and spread the game and help it grow, we have to read nonsense like this from haters. Just grow up and stop hating on the game. Go watch soccer or something that loves people like you.
