The Dragons lost the 1st and 2nd round to Ospreys and Leinster but were victorious in the 3rd against Connacht 35-22. The team couldn’t win any games after that until they were tied to Benetton 13-13 in the previous round. The Dragons also lost 3 Challenge cup tournaments to USA Perpignan 22-16, Lyon 41-28, and Benetton 23-9. However, they scored success over Scarlets 52-32 in the Pro 14 Rainbow Cup. Dragons need a win to settle their record and showcase their potential. It would be a tough game to compete in as they have not won any games by Ulster before, and the opponents will not give away a win quite easily.
