Matthew Watkins joins Newport Gwent Dragons

A hugely Earth shattering bit of news this. For Dragons fans.

Sorry but I have to say I am far from a Matthew Watkins fan. Fine as a back up for injuries or to cover smaller games but with all the movement that the Dragons have seen in the centre (including Stretch retiring) that leaves Matthew Watkins and Rhodri Gomer-Davies as their first choice partnership.

Gareth George on twitter sums it up with this eloquent quote

NOOOOOOOOOO GUTTED

As I say Matthew Watkins isn’t a bad player if you have players ahead of him, he’s useful cover – but a first choice starter? The Dragons really are going to suffer this season

But as a side note can someone tell me how he managed to get 18 caps? I think that shows how much Wales have struggled in recent years.
