Dragons looking to put down a marker in tough URC opener in Ulster
Western Mail
|September 26, 2025
DRAGONS will be aiming to lay down a marker when they kick off their United Rugby Championship season in Ulster tonight.
-
Filo Tiatia’s side finished rock bottom of the league, 20 points adrift of Zebre, in 2024-25 after suffering 17 defeats in 18 matches.
Their only victory came on the opening weekend of the season against Ospreys.
Tiatia, who took over from Dai Flanagan after the first block of last season, has brought in defence coach Dale MacLeod, who bullishly believes Dragons can target a top-eight finish.
The head coach, whose only win since taking the reins was at Newcastle in the Challenge Cup, is more cautious in his predictions.
"Last season was last season, and it’s turning over a new leaf in terms of what we want to achieve together," Tiatia said.
"We've had two preseason games, we've improved in different areas, and we've still got lots to work on."
