Boss Filo Tiatia praised the Rodney Parade faithful after they created a \u2018special\u2019 home send-off for the Men of Gwent.<\/p>\n
A bumper crowd of over 7,000 fans descended on the stadium for the BKT United Rugby Championship clash with Edinburgh Rugby.<\/p>\n
And although Dragons were edged out of the field, the off-field celebrations and atmosphere made it a memorable night under the lights.<\/p>\n
Fans flocked onto the field at full-time to watch a presentation to departing players and then grab autographs and selfies with their heroes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was beautiful to see all the fans at the end,\u201d said Tiatia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had lots of fans and young kids on the field, and it was special. They love the players and they love coming to support.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have seen the team improve and get wins. The things we are trying to achieve as a group, they are such a part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing all the fans dressed up as Waino was crazy, but it was so great to see.<\/p>\n
\u201cWaino is a champion of a man,\u201d added Tiatia. \u201cWe\u2019re going to miss him, and Leicester are lucky to have him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have one game left, and we want to finish this season on the right foot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boss Filo Tiatia praised the Rodney Parade faithful after they created a \u2018special\u2019 home send-off for the Men…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-434588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
