Ulster Rugby vs Newport Dragons

PLAYERS TO WATCH

ELLIOT DEE

OPPOSITION

Young gun Elliot Dee came up through the ranks of the Dragons’ Principality Premiership Clubs to become a permanent Dragons squad member. He came through Pontypool and Bedwas whilst being involved in the Dragons Academy set up. Newport born Elliot scored his first try when he was a young lad playing for Newbridge U7’s and hasn’t really looked back. He did start an electrical apprenticeship but turned his focus to rugby and has reaped the rewards for doing this by featuring for both Wales’ U18’s and the U20’s teams.
