[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 591633, member: 48703"] And Newcastle's team had a grand total of 1 player from that match who was involved with their Premiership opener as they cared little for a match played in the midst of the Championship playoff knockout matches. It was a "younger development team" according to Dean Richards himself. Nice try though. And now compare the Dragons pack ... There's little chance that pack stays up in either the Top 14 or Premiership. They are a Championship standard team with one outstanding player in Faletau who looks out of place with his teammates to be honest. The teamsheets wouldn't suggest an injury crisis to be honest, Ferris was the only player missing from the starting XV in the Northampton win.
