With the exception of heavy Heineken cup away losses at Leicester and Stade Francais it has been an exceptional few months, minus the inevitable slow start in the "bedding" in period for such a new side in comparison to the Scarlets and Blues of this World. Jason Forster has led from the front at openside, "Fozzie" should at least be there or there about in Wales's Six Nations squad along with the promising Peter Sidoli, who should be joining up with his brother.

On the downside the Dragons still have a lot of games outside of Wales to play, and lack a playmaker at either 10 or 12 to control things behind. Even after such a good start to the season they are still short of a game breaker or two, the recent acquisition of Bobby Skinstad until the end of the season maybe just what they need.
