The Dragons have confirmed their 2019 pre-season schedule and then will not be leaving Perpignan, let alone the Hexagon of France.
18th January - We will be facing the best of Elite 1 (so maybe Romain Blanco) in a challenge match. That should be interesting and quite competitive.
In recent seasons we've had some bad experiences facing domestic players and competitions and whilst my research can't find it, I seem to remember us losing to an all-starts side a few years back.
25th January - We will be facing Toulouse Olympique at home in a match that will be as close to a real match as a friendly can be.
Toulouse will be keen to put one over the Challenge Cup holders and show the sort of form that saw them go close in the Championship last year.
We lost to them in an away friendly previously so will be keen to show we are the kings of France in this one.
Both matches are at the Stade Gilbert Brutus with a 19:30hrs start time
