Driven home from Newport, still not sure what happened at Rodney Parade tonight.
Scoreline flattened Connacht despite Prendergast brace, Dragons outstanding.

Dear Connacht, thank you for making sure that our loss to Leinster will only be an afterthought for the next few days.
Ps delighted for Dragons!!
(If they blow this 41 point lead though then they deserve to go 🫣)

HT: Dragons 28-7 Connacht
A penalty try and a yellow card for Connacht's Paul Boyle caps off an outstanding first half for the Men of Gwent who have a try bonus point already!
Best performance from the Dragons in some time. #DRAvCON
32' Try Dragons
A brilliant break from Fine Inisi, before the ball is spun out to the other wing where Rosser has an easy finish.
O'Brien converts.
🟡21-7🟢 #DRAvCON
26' Try Dragons
The hosts lead after scrum half Che Hope broke through the defence from a bouncing ball to score unopposed.
O'Brien converts, a really good opening from the Men of Gwent!
🟡14-7🟢 #DRAvCON
The Brit commentator's pronunciation of Connacht is irksome, considering they are usually out there sticking hard Gs in Gallagher and o'Donoghues all the time. #DravCon
Kickoff!
Josh Ioane gets us underway in Newport and Dragons clear up to the 10 metre line. #DRAvCON

Dragons 27 Connacht 34
A game that ended up being a million times harder than it needed to be
1st a TBP win was needed and we got it, can't be annoyed with that
But some elements of that performance were beyond frustrating
I'm delighted there's a week break ahead
