Captain Harrison Keddie admitted Dragons had to ask serious questions of themselves and take responsibility after the defeat to Munster.
Dragons suffered a painful 64-3 defeat at Thomond Park in the United Rugby Championship in a performance that Keddie conceded was not good enough.
Dean Ryan’s men next travel to South Africa at the end of the month for games with Vodacom Bulls and Cell C Sharks.
And ahead of that pair of fixtures, Keddie insisted the squad would come together to take accountability and plan the way forward.
“It was nowhere near good enough,” said Keddie. “It was a poor performance. We didn’t stress them at all, and it is nowhere near good enough.
“The supporters at home deserve a lot better and it is incredibly disappointing.
“You give a team like them quick ball and you don’t win shots against them then it is going to be a hard day.
“They were on top for the entire game, and it is nowhere near good enough from us,” he added.
“The boys are down but we have got to be. It is up to us to sort out, nobody else.
“We have got to come together, have a hard look at ourselves, be honest with each other and get ready to go again.
“It does need some tough chats and some honesty. We have to dust ourselves off and get ready to go again.”
