Dragons have received a double boost ahead of their European Rugby Challenge Cup Round 3 game with Northampton Saints on December 8, as flanker Ross Moriarty and lock Huw Taylor are both expected to be available for the Pool 1 fixture. The two forwards are being assessed after HIA protocols but are likely to feature in this weekend’s Guinness PRO14 match against defending champions Leinster Rugby, as well as the trip to Franklin’s Gardens next month. The Welsh region sit second in Pool 1 with five points after a 54-17 win over Timisoara Saracens and a 35-21 defeat to Northampton Saints in Newport. Both Moriarty – who won the Challenge Cup in 2015 with Gloucester Rugby – and Taylor have played in Dragons’ two Challenge Cup matches so far this season. https://twitter.com/ERChallengeCup/status/1067055488058175488 Fly-half Gavin Henson and prop Brok Harris are likely to sit out Dragons’ December Challenge Cup double-header due to knee injuries but are expected to return for the Welsh region’s home match against Timisoara Saracens in Round 5 on January 11. Dragons’ final Pool 1 match is at home to two-time Challenge Cup winners ASM Clermont Auvergne on January 18.
