Dragons fear Edinburgh will be breathing fire

DRAGONS coach Paul Turner is warning his side to beware an Edinburgh team on the up in the Celtic rugby league at Rodney Parade tomorrow.

Turner said: "Edinburgh travel with the confidence of a good start to the season and a fine win against the Scarlets last week.

"They're a quality squad who are capable of playing attractive football."

Dragons skipper Tom Willis added: "We need to build momentum after our first win of the season (away to Ulster) and I'm hoping that now we've felt that winning feeling, the boys will grow an extra arm and a leg for this weekend's clash with Edinburgh.

"We know that Edinburgh are a tidy and effective side and they will arrive with confidence after their victory last weekend.

Recalled to the Dragons squad for the first time this season after injury is Scotland international lock Andy Hall.

• Former Scotland under-21 rugby mentor Jono Phillips was today appointed to help coach the Hurricanes Super 14 team next season alongside head coach Colin Cooper.
