If Venus Williams can reach another Wimbledon singles final at the age of 37, why can't Gavin Henson finally make it to the Rugby World Cup at the same age in Japan in 2019?

Last season Cardiff Blues faced Bristol Rugby in the European Rugby Challenge Cup and the two Severnside rivals will meet again in the British & Irish Cup in the new season.

Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt had the honour of overseeing the latest landmark moment at Rodney Parade, as work started on removing the famous playing surface in preparation for the arrival of a new hybrid pitch.

The Dragons today confirmed their 2017/18 pre-season schedule, which will see them hit the road to face Montpellier, Northampton Saints and Exeter Chiefs next month.
