Newport Gwent Dragons have named a 28 man squad for the match against the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on Friday (7:05pm).
Dragons preparations have been hit this week with a number missing from training with a bug.
Pat Leach is named in the squad for the first time since breaking his hand in the LV= Cup defeat to the Ospreys at the Brewery Field in January. Also back in the squad is back row Jevon Groves after being rested for last week’s game against Treviso.
17 year old Hallam Amos is once again included in the squad and available for selection after playing 55 minutes as a substitute against Treviso.
Stats
• Newport Gwent Dragons have won their last two away games at Aironi and Edinburgh.
• Dragons have been victorious in their last three league matches against Ospreys, including a first ever win at Liberty Stadium in October 2010.
• After withdrawing just before kick off last week, Luke Charteris could make his 100th RaboDirect PRO12 appearance if he plays at the Liberty Stadium.
