Newport Gwent Dragons assistant coach Iestyn Thomas is set to leave the men of Gwent to pursue new challenges.

Ex-international rugby player Matthew J Watkins has, unfortunately, developed a very rare form of cancer of his right pelvis which requires treatment at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. He remains well and active and is supported by his friends and family.

Former Wales Under-20s captain Dan Watchurst has been forced to hang up his boots.

A second-half fightback was not enough for the Dragons to finish their season on a high in Edinburgh.
