With the game between the Blues South and Llanelli Scarlets having been postponed due to a waterlogged Cardiff Arms Park pitch, the North can increase their lead by inflicting another defeat on the struggling Dragons at Pandy Park.

The North have won all three games to date whilst the Dragons find themselves rooted to the foot of the table after three successive defeats.

Craig Atwell’s try and 14 points from the boot of Joseph Evans gave the Dragons a chance of victory in their last game, against the Scarlets at Narberth, but their hosts rallied in the final quarter and secured a 24-19 victory.

Meanwhile, the Ospreys U20 will take on the Scarlets at Narberth tonight in a game that was postponed, due to a waterlogged ground on October 25th.
