Jamie Roberts confirmed to Dragons:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53630990

Dragons backline coming together quite well;

9. Williams/Knoyle
10. Sam Davies
11. Warren
12. Roberts
13. Thompkins
14. Howells
15. Holmes

An all internationally capped backline. Tight five might need some work but they shouldn't be the Welsh also ran anymore.

It's all international but somehow still looks pretty average.

I said they wouldn't be the worse Welsh region not that they'd be particularly brilliant. It's a trade up on last season. Interesting that they are the only Welsh region spending any money.

Cardiff signed Cory Hill and Rhys Carre
Ospreys Webb, Protheroe, Nicky Thomas,
Scarlets Costelow, Morgan, Kalamafoni, Jonny Williams

When you look at in and out they are all roughly 1 in 1 out.

I say Scarlets probably have the best squad out of the four but I still think they're someway off their 2016/17 heights.

As I understand it the WRU has limited the regions abilities to make additional signings and those were signings that were agreed in the main pre Covid. Dragons seem to be the only ones doing deals post Covid. They are still rumoured to be after Bateman and Rowlands. How true those rumours are who knows.

Newcastle re sign Adam Radwan :

Radwan is a massive talent. If he scores a few tries early doors next season then I could Eddie Jones having a look at him in an England training squad. He's got similar pace to Louis Rees-Zammit, great feet and a solid all round game.

May is now 30 and Radwan is 7 or 8 years younger. Eddie could do worse looking ahead to the next world cup if he wants to keep an out and out speedster on the wing.
