Dragons stay focussed on Euro prize

Now they have to confirm that turnaround by going to Bayonne and claiming a bonus point this weekend to top Pool One and secure a home quarter-final.

“Who knows what we will meet in Bayonne, but we will prepare and be ready for everything,” said Turner. “We know it can be pretty hostile over there and, if the crowd get behind them, they will know they can stop something happening.

“We showed against Bristol that we are back on our way and we finished with four nineteen or twenty year olds on the pitch, which bears testament to what we are trying to do here.

“We want to progress further as we learn from experiences like this. We want to re-sign players and re-sign the coaching staff and beating Bristol can only help us on our way.

“We beat the English Premiership leaders and they are not there by default. We will learn from experiences like that.”
