The Dragons open their United Rugby Championship season on Friday evening with a trip to Italy to face Benetton at Stadio Monigo.
Filo Tiatia's side face a familiar face in the opposition dugout, with former Wales fly-half Rhys Patchell now serving as Benetton's attack coach after leaving his role within the Dragons' coaching setup last season.
Play-off target for the Dragons
After showing signs of improvement last season, the Dragons have set their sights on reaching the play-offs this campaign.
The match kicks off at 7.45pm and will be broadcast live on Premier Sport.
