The Dragons have announced a second signing ahead of the 2026/27 season, with back row Terrell Peita joining from the Blues.
He can play all across the back row and has a rather tidy try scoring record in New Zealand's NPC competition.

Yes, Luke Morgan makes a desperate (late, too) cover tackle and injures Ethan Hooker, but I think the social media pill on his partner’s instagram is extreme.
I admire a lot about SA rugby, they have the best men’s team in the world but their social media supporters are appalling.
I'm on Road to Principality beat this afternoon in Cardiff, three entertaining games have happened so far.
But what on earth is going on at Sale? #SALvSAR
No message for the rest of the WRU board or is that off the record?
Has Ned ever been a happy camper?
Shoutout Efan Daniel for surviving 18 minutes of scrums at loosehead against double World Cup winning prop Vincent Koch*
Ospreys just deserved the win, Sharks errors too costly despite having the luxury of multiple Springboks on the bench and a massive pack.
Off to watch snooker. #OSPvSHA
I am from now on!
It looks like it Anna, I’m not sure I had the power to do that!
Edit: it was the Scarlets.
What a comeback from Cardiff.
The Cardiff end of season collapse is in the works, it seems.
Thought they were going to be okay when they beat Leinster and sneaked a point against the Sharks. But what do I know!
Reaction from Dragons head coach Filo Tiatia following last night's heavy defeat to the Vodacom Bulls in the United Rugby Championship. #DRAvBUL www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/260326...
The second half wasn't pretty I must admit and couple of late Bulls try adding some gloss to the scoreboard didn't help.
I think they are too, but fear Bulls pack might continue to dominate in second 40.
HT: Dragons 7-12 Bulls.
Not a classic, but the Dragons giving it a good go against a Bulls side starting with seven Springboks in their forward pack.
Embrose Papier and Johan Grobbelaar the scorers for the visitors after a brilliant Fine Inisi score for the hosts. #DRAvBUL
Good to be back at Rodney Parade after a few away games for Dragons vs Bulls in the URC.
Men of Gwent looking to translate Challenge Cup form to the end of the league campaign, Bulls looking to continue their playoff quest.
Kickoff at 7:45pm. #DRAvBUL
Good to see Harrison Keddie named captain for the Men of Gwent ahead of a return to Rodney Parade this weekend.
A boost on the bench with the return of Rhodri Jones and Dillon Lewis after injuries, team news piece below. #DRAvBUL

I’m sure whichever Welsh team survives will enjoy their Boxing Day trip to Tbilisi!
Although, it's been over 11 months since the first reports that the WRU were going to cut a club and we're still no clearer on who will go (I think we all assumed it was going to be one from the west anyway)
I'm not sure how a merger of teams would work (Celtic Warriors style) with sharing grounds with a lack of home games in both comps compared to 20 years ago.
Last one (I promise)

The Men of Gwent will face Montpellier in the semi-final of the EPCR Challenge Cup following victory in Parma last night against Zebre.

Didn't have the characters to mention him in original post.
But huge credit to Niall Armstrong too, the 50/22 he hit six minutes from time capped off a really good couple of weeks for him. #ZEBvDRA
Another great away win for the Dragons as they head into the last four of the EPCR Challenge Cup following a win in Parma, decision making on point from Filo Tiatia's side.
Keddie, Coleman and Young the standouts for me, report below. #ZEBvDRA
www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/260136...
Young wins the first half I think!
HT: Zebre Parma 17-17 Dragons
A half where discipline has been an issue for the Men of Gwent with two yellow cards for Richards and Inisi, the Tongan international and Keddie the scorers for Tiatia's side.
Wing Trulla and centre Bertaccini scoring for the hosts. #ZEBvDRA
Looking forward to this, Stavile vs Young at openside should be tasty.
Maybe not an 80th minute rewrite this week? I can only hope! #ZEBvDRA
The handling for that Blues try and the score from Caleb Clarke is absolutely brilliant. #BLUvHUR
Team news ahead of the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter final, with the Dragons looking for a spot in the last four for the first time since 2016, just one change for Filo Tiatia.
Will be the first of two meetings between the Zebre and the Dragons this month!
