Dragons beaten again

The week after they had taken the spoils at the Arms Park against Caridff Blues, the Warriors returned to Wales to pick up a further five points to overtake similarly unbeaten Connacht at the top of the table.
 
The visitors were 13-3 to the good by the break after Alex Dunbar crossed for an early try which Duncan Weir converted. The outside half also kicked a penalty along with Stuart Hogg.
The only points the Dragons could muster in the first half was a single penalty from Angus O’Brien.
 
It didn’t help the home cause when prop Lloyd Fairbrogher was sent to the sin-bin just before the break, but the home side’s hopes were given a boost less than a minute into the second half when Warriors’ flanker Tyrone Holmes was sent off for foul play.
 
O’Brien and Weir swapped penalties, but the Scottish side, who were runners-up in last season’s competition, re-established their advantage when No 8 Josh Strauss crossed for a second try midway through the second half.
 
The home response came via a try from former Wales scrum half Richie Rees, but the Warriors finished with a flourish by running in two late tries from Tommy Seymour and Tim Swinson bagged the bonus point.
