ASHLEY SMITH BACK AS CAPTAIN FOR DRAGONS IN ULSTER

Ashley Smith is back as captain of the side which sees a number of changes since the last Dragons match that played the Ospreys in Bridgend a fortnight ago.

Adam Jones and Rob Sidoli both return in the second row having been rested after a busy December and January period. Back row Gavin Thomas is also fit again having recovered from injury.
