	Newport Gwent Dragons start year with win - Rugby Union News - Telegraph
		Newport Gwent Dragons snatched victory in the final seconds of this fragmented Magners League game at Rodney Parade with a try from on-loan wing Richard Mustoe that provided coach Paul Turner with the perfect start to the New Year.
		With time running out and the Dragons desperate to at least snatch a share of the spoils, the ball was worked quickly to wing Mustoe who dashed in at the corner in the game's final piece of action.
		Newport Gwent Dragons: K Morgan; R Fussell, P Emerick, A Smith, R Mustoe; C Sweeney, A Williams (A Walker 72); H Gustaffson (A Black 44), S Jones (B Daly 62), R Thomas, A Jones, P Sidoli (J Harris 65), J Bearman, C Charvis, M Owen.

		The Newport Gwent Dragons (Welsh: Dreigiau Gwent Casnewydd) are a Rugby Union team from Wales, playing in the Celtic League and European Rugby Cup/European Rugby Shield.
		Newport Gwent Dragons officially represent southeast Wales, and play all of their matches at Rodney Parade, situated in the city of Newport, although friendly (pre-season) games have been played at a number of other grounds around a region that includes well-known club sides such as Pontypool RFC, Newbridge RFC and Abertillery RFC.
		Largely drawn from the Newport RFC and Ebbw Vale RFC sides of the preceding year, Newport Gwent Dragons were considered one of the weaker regions in the Welsh game, although their coach Mike Ruddock was considered one of the best.

	BBC - South East Wales Sport - Newport Gwent Dragons
		Obviously as a Newport fan I would have preferred Newport to have remained as the name but that is water under the bridge now and I think we have to stick with the NGD name.
		Before the regional set up Newport were getting between 6- 8 thousand average crowds, so from an economic viewpoint of the Dragons are ever to be a success, it makes sense to try and encourage the Newport fans (as well as fans from the rest of Gwent) to matches.
		It's also funny how people outsde of Newport comment on the Gwent Dragons but didn't want to support it at all (I think 10 season tickets were sold under this name.) It required the Newport fans to bail out the Dragons.

		The Dragons seemed to have everything in their favour: atrocious weather, home advantage and opponents who had not tasted victory for a month and were having to learn to live without Jonny Wilkinson again, but a rain-soaked afternoon proved that the Celtic League is lagging behind the Zurich Premiership.
		The Newport coach Chris Anderson pointed out that, the week before, his side had won at Borders despite playing poorly and contrasted that with the Premiership where an off-day is usually rewarded with a 30-point defeat.
		The Dragons appeared to have the best chance of a victory, having won their previous five matches, but their attempts to run in the rain doused their fire while the Falcons played rugby to suit the conditions with Wilkinson's replacement, Dave Walder, wasting no opportunity to kick his forwards downfield.

		Dragons hooker Jones and Munster prop Horan were singled out by referee Chris White and sent to the sin-bin.

		In the Heineken Cup the Newport Gwent Dragons had been the solitary Welsh side with a victory to their name, and even for them a win was essential if they were to have a realistic chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.
		It was a sterling team effort from the Dragons, but two of their men stood out, Gareth Cooper in the first half, Nathan Brew in the second.
		The Dragons had some breathing space but it was squandered by the intemperance of replacement hooker, Steve Jones.

		Dragons’ fly half Ceri Sweeney levelled matters from 40 metres when Newcastle infringed at the side of a ruck but the Welshman missed in the 32nd minute and it was to prove costly.
		At 14-a-side the Falcons kept a grip on the game and when Newport were back to full strength the visitors still had enough guile to keep them out.
		The nine minutes of stoppage time were dramatic as the Dragons laid siege to the Newcastle line and battered into phase after phase.

		There remained very little between the sides but Glasgow's failure to take points early on was costing them as the Dragons, with the bit between their teeth, lifted the intensity.
		The referee, George Clancy from Ireland, ruled that Dragons wing Fussell had got his fingers to it first and awarded a 22 drop-out, but Fussell had felt the weight of Craig and was taken off injured.

		As he was being assisted on the halfway line, complaining of double vision, the Dragons were awarded a penalty which they kicked to touch five metres from the Newcastle line.
		The Dragons replied with their first try three minutes later, the wing Gareth Wyatt crossing after a driving lineout, but no one took tactical control, and Wilkinson wasted no opportunity to put his boot to the ball and gain his forwards 50 yards.
		The Dragons, who felt the early loss of Forster keenly, were unable to exert much pressure on Wilkinson, who played a part in two of his side's three tries.
