Teams are ready and waiting for kick off

Welcome to the opening round of Challenge Cup rugby where Dragons will travel to Timisoara Saracens to kick their campaign off. This match will be an interesting battle as this will be the first time these teams meet and Timisoara first match against Welsh opposition. The Romanians will be eager to record a win as they have failed to do so in 16/17 campaign. Dragons away record will need some attention as well as they lost 6 of their 7 away games only defeating Enisei-STM last season
