Welsh rugby fans don’t know when their favourite sport will return but there’s plenty to excite them about next season.

Some super signings have been made by the regions and other captures, like new Wales star Nick Tompkins, are being heavily touted.

If Rhys Carre returns from Saracens it will strengthen front-row resources too and give Blues fans even more to get excited about.

Elliot Dee slots in as starting hooker despite the excellence of veteran Richard Hibbard this campaign while versatile Test prop Aaron Jarvis has made a positive impact packing down either side of the scrum.

Andy Howell’s verdict: The Dragons have some super youngsters and their best XV should trouble opponents as they seek to remain on an upward path.
