Brodie Coghlan has signed a two-year contract extension with Dragons, emphasizing his pride in playing for his home region. The Wales hooker, who has made 51 appearances for the region, scored in their dramatic 36-31 win over Stade Francais, which secured a quarter-final against Zebre this Saturday.

"Playing for Dragons means everything to me because this was the side I grew up watching," said Coghlan. "I still have moments when I can't actually believe I'm playing for them now." The Newport-born academy product noted how special it was to have his family present in Paris for the victory, with the changing rooms "bouncing" afterward as they celebrated the win that keeps Welsh rugby's European hopes alive.
