The Dragons Academy face Japan Under 18’s at Rodney Parade on Wednesday 3pm Kick off.
After winning 20-13 against Scotland on the weekend the Japanese Team will travel down full of confidence hoping to record another victory.
The Dragons squad is made up from boys across the academy structure and includes players that have already tasted Premiership Rugby with the likes of Pontypool, Cross Keys and Newport.
“This is the first game where we are playing boys who have represented the Dragons at Age Grade levels this season under the banner of the Dragons Academy. These are the types of fixtures we want our players to be experiencing as it’s the high intensity of international rugby we want our players to excel in” said Will Thomas, Dragons National Performance Manager.
Admission to the game is free so come and get a chance of seeing the future of Newport Gwent Dragons
