Lydiate may be robbed of a farewell
South Wales Evening Post
|May 14, 2025
THERE are fears that Wales great Dan Lydiate may have played his final match in professional rugby after he was forced off with a neck injury against the Stormers on Saturday.
-
The back rower announced last month that he would retire from rugby at the end of the season, with the Dragons set to finish bottom of the URC table and play their final game of the campaign against the Bulls in Pretoria this weekend.
That match is set to be the last in Lydiate’s glittering career, but whether the 37-year-old will get his final outing is now unclear after injury forced him off in the first half of Saturday’s match, which also happened to be his 150th game in the URC.
