Rees: Dragons improving all the time

The Dragons currently sit one place off the bottom of the table and have just one GUINNESS PRO12 victory to their name this season - a 33-15 win over Benetton Treviso.

However, last time out Lyn Jones' troops pushed Glasgow Warriors all the way, despite eventually going down 19-15 at Scotstoun.

Rees believes Newport are growing every week and showed a distinct improvement in the level of their performance - giving them the perfect platform to build on.

"Compared to where we've been in the last few weeks that was an improvement," the 31-year-old told the South Wales Argus.

"We didn't come away with the victory but the performance was there and we've just got to keep building.

"As a back line it's hard when you are playing off back-foot ball but the boys are trying at the scrum and are working hard to improve and that's all we can ask of them.

"Now it's a big month for us with Bucharest in Europe, Zebre and Cardiff Blues back-to-back in the PRO12. We are building towards that."
