HALLAM Amos will work with the Wales medical team this week with the aim of making his Guinness PRO14 return for the Dragons against Connacht in a fortnight.

The wing/full-back missed out on selection for the autumn internationals after suffering a dislocated right elbow in the loss to Leinster in Dublin in September.

The 24-year-old from Monmouthshire, who is on a national dual contract, was originally eyeing a comeback against Ulster on Friday (kick-off 7.55pm), which would have put him in contention for Wales’ Test with Scotland in Cardiff on November 3.

He is now targeting the following week’s trip to Ireland with Amos potentially providing the Dragons with some much-needed firepower at Connacht’s Sportsground on the evening after the autumn opener at Principality Stadium.

The speedster, who started all three of Wales’ summer Tests against South Africa and Argentina at full-back, will link up with the national conditioning team to try and bolster the backs in Galway.

"Hallam should be back for Connacht, hopefully," said Dragons head coach Bernard Jackman. "He is going to train with the Wales squad and get his treatment there. The plan is that he will be back for Connacht."

Six Dragons players were selected by Wales boss Warren Gatland last week – captain and lock Cory Hill, back row forwards Ross Moriarty and Aaron Wainwright, hooker Elliot Dee, tighthead prop Leon Brown and centre Tyler Morgan.

They joined up with the rest of the 37-strong group today and will not be available for the Ulster game unless Gatland and his coaches deem they could do with game time.

Dee, who won his first cap last autumn and established himself as Ken Owen’s deputy last season, is unlikely to be released.

However, the front-rower hopes that the Dragons can dramatically reduce their error count to stand a chance of upsetting the odds at Ravenhill after racking up the mistakes in a damaging 35-21 European Challenge Cup loss to Northampton last Friday.

“It was a massively disappointing night for us,” said Dee after the defeat that leaves hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages hanging by a thread.

“You can’t gift teams those sort of chances in the first half of the game, especially a team like Northampton who have a big physical game, a big driving maul and a big power game, and that’s what we did first 20 minutes.

“It was good to show some character in the second half, but again silly mistakes gifted tries and put us under the cosh.

“We’re putting ourselves under pressure and losing games (through mistakes) which is something we have to cut out.

“Good teams don’t make the mistakes or if they do they don’t compound more than one error at a time and at the moment we’re making one, two, three errors, which makes it hard to shift the momentum.

“There were still some positives – the character that we showed, the tries we scored in the second half – we’ve just got to put complete performances in.

“We’ve had games where we have come out all guns blazing and then taken our foot off the gas, the momentum has shifted and games have slipped away.

"Then it was the other way round against Northampton when we gifted tries straight away, were under pressure and trying to claw our way back. It’s always harder going up the hill than going down it.

“I am sure the boys will knuckle down in training and right some wrongs, going out all guns blazing at Ulster.”
