Here are your rugby evening headlines for Sunday, April 26.<\/p>\n
Dragons sign impressive winger<\/p>\n
The Dragons have signed RGC wing Caio Parry ahead of next season, following a fine season in Super Rygbi Cymru.<\/p>\n
Parry has been one of the league’s most potent players, crossing for 14 tries in 19 matches this season.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old also ranks highly for defenders beaten and linebreaks, while he’s also turned out for GB 7s in Rugby Europe Championship.<\/p>\n
After RGC’s SRC hopes were ended with a quarter-final loss against Llandovery on the weekend, their coach Jon Callard confirmed the Dragons were signing Parry for next season.<\/p>\n
“Caio Parry is going to go on to the Dragons, which is fantastic for us,” said Callard to S4C.<\/p>\n
Welsh boss ‘delighted’ after narrowly missing out on scalp<\/p>\n
Scarlets<\/a> interim director of rugby Nigel Davies says he is delighted with the players after they came close to knocking over play-off-chasing Bulls in Llanelli<\/a>.<\/p>\n A strong display against the Springbok-laden Bulls nearly produced a win for the west Walians, only for the boot of Handre Pollard to deny them. Even so, Davies was pleased with what he saw.<\/p>\n \u201cAt this level, the margins are narrow and we are working hard to make sure we are on the right side of these victories,” he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are getting there, there were a couple of key moments in the game, but overall I am just delighted with the players; I thought they were brave out there, they kept on going, we executed the gameplan really well which gave us an opportunity to win the game. I am really, really pleased with the way the boys reacted to last week.\u201d<\/p>\n Davies added: \u201cIn the main, I thought we managed the game well \u2013 maybe we didn\u2019t switch to a different type of gameplan when they were down to 13, the scrum at the end was another moment \u2013 but that is how it goes sometimes, particularly when you are a side still looking to find its feet. We are getting close and that was a real statement of intent to where this team is going.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are moving forward, we are gradually knocking down all the things we are talking about, we have a real clear plan moving forward and the boys are starting to execute on the field. There is a lot of hope to take from that performance.\u201d<\/p>\n Northampton unhappy despite late win<\/p>\n Northampton Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson was unhappy with their performance against Bath, despite winning 41-38 at Franklin’s Gardens.<\/p>\n Bath rested a number of players for their top of the table Prem clash, with one eye on a European semi-final against Bordeaux-Begles next week.<\/p>\n As such, celebrations were muted when Northampton did sneak over the line late on.<\/p>\n \u201cWe weren\u2019t getting through anything we wanted to execute,” said Dowson.<\/p>\n \u201cWe stopped playing a little bit, got into lots of box kick battles, which definitely suits Bath, and I thought their back three were excellent, in terms of dealing with those and getting Bath on the front foot.<\/p>\n \u201cDefensively, we weren\u2019t at it, particularly that part of our game was again poor, so (defence coach) Lee Radford is particularly annoyed.<\/p>\n \u201cThose elements feed into how we want to attack and play, and I think some of our decision making was a bit restricted in the second half.”<\/p>\n Follow all of our channels to ensure you stay up to date with the latest Welsh rugby news.
