Here's hoping Darren Evans is the breath of fresh air the Dragons coaching staff so desperately need. Great news Tovey is staying. Shame they didn't bring in an experienced fullback because if Tovey's going to be playing at 10 more often there will be no one really suitable. Don't know much about Will Harries, but know he's too small for fullback. Also, can't see him getting picked on the wing either while the likes of Fussell and Brew are available.  − D-r-a-g-o-n-s fan, Newbridge
