"Champions Cup is on the one hand really daunting but on the other really exciting," said Ryan.

"Every person who works in sport wants to be involved at the top and our players aren't any different.

"It doesn't mean our resources won't be challenged or that the match-ups won't be interesting, but we can't help but get excited.

Lads, I can't believe the Dragons are going to win the Champions Cup next season!!!!

the fetishised fan-fiction of us turning over the all blacks in the final is an absurd fantasy, to this day we still haven't beaten them in around sixty years, i don't know why we would have done it on that day considering australia pumped us twice proceeding that clash with France. (especially with the absence of breadman and bomb)

A swarm sounds very energetic, I don't think that's really our style...can we not be some other word from the natural world? Obviously you have your pride (lions), school or pod (whales - might make sense of a sort), an unkindness (ravens), a parliament (owls), a pandemonium (parrots), a sloth (bears), an obstinacy (buffalo)...I rather like the fact that lemurs are a conspiracy.

On google, so could be bollox.

The standard collective nouns for dragons are: a flight of dragons; a weyr of dragons; a school of dragons; a thunder of dragons; or a wing of dragons.

I'd rather use a Welsh word.

I'm Gen X so I'm opposed to being labelled a boomer in any context.
