Dragons 15-0 RC Enisei, Rodney Parade
Scorecard

Adam Warren starred with a double as Dragons blanked RC Enisei 15-0 in their European Rugby Challenge Cup encounter at Rodney Parade on Friday.

The visitors missed a chance to gain an early lead as Yuri Kushnarev missed a 12th minute penalty goal. With the first quarter ending without a point, Warren capitalised on the good work from Arwel Robson to score the opening try.

Fullback Angus O'Brien missed out on the conversion as Dragons ended the first half with a 5-0 lead.

As RC Enisei failed to add any points in the second half as well, a grubber kick from O'Brien helped Aaron Wainwright crossover as Dragons doubled the lead to 10-0.

The conversion was missed again by O'Brien as was his third after Warren scored his second of the game with nine minutes to play but the Dragons will regret missing the bonus point.

Dragons now top Pool 1 with 10 points from three games while Enisei-STM's chances of progressing are all but gone with their third consecutive defeat.
