Comes to something when you turn down the Dragons to stay at Ebbwvale!

Makes perfect sense to me. Ebbw Vale are a successful team, with all of the "off the field" structure sorted and working well on a sound financial footing and the team has excellent support, probably only second to Pontypridd in terms of the Premiership. Whereas the Dragons is a complete shambles. No brainer really.

That's an odd argument to be fair. The Dragons are the only region to be financially sound have 11 under 20 internationals at the JWC at the moment and have attendances from 5 to 8 thousand. How is a Premiership side on anyway a better option for ambitious coach.

I'd love to know how many times NGD have exceeded a crowd of 8,000... 7,000, 6,000 or 5,000 for that matter.
