Dragons' European Challenge Cup Hopes on Brink of Last 16 as They Secure Bonus-Point Win Over Newcastle Red Bulls

Filo Tiatia's Dragons side moved a step closer to securing an away tie in the last 16 of the European Challenge Cup after a convincing bonus-point win over Newcastle Red Bulls at Rodney Parade. The 35-12 victory sees Dragons maintain their fourth successive win on the spin, with their next game set to be a crucial in determining whether they avoid being knocked out.

The Dragons' impressive performance was led by wing Rio Dyer's two tries and centre Brodie Coghlan's match-winning try. Fly-half Angus O'Brien also impressed, scoring four penalties and converting all three of Dyer's tries.

Newcastle Red Bulls, on the other hand, were well-beaten by Dragons and saw their chances of securing a higher seeding in Pool Two slip away. The team's previous three Challenge Cup games had been won, but they struggled to cope with Dragons' dominant lineout drive and ultimately paid the price for several yellow cards.

The outcome sees Dragons move within touching distance of an away tie in the last 16, pending the outcome of another pool match between Perpignan and Lions.

I'm loving how the Dragons are firing on all cylinders right now! They're getting more confident with each game, and it's only a matter of time before they knock out Newcastle Red Bulls . Filo Tiatia's tactics are spot on, using that dominant lineout to control the pace of the game. And man, Brodie Coghlan is on fire ! The Dragons' fans must be thrilled with this win... it's a great confidence booster going into the next match . Can they maintain this momentum and avoid getting knocked out?

OMG u gotta check this out ! Dragons just smashed Newcastle Red Bulls 35-12 at Rodney Parade! Rio Dyer's got skills tho - two tries and all converted by Angus O'Brien's sick penalties ️! Looks like they're one step away from last 16, fingers crossed

I'm thinking what's going on here is that the European Challenge Cup is getting more intense by the minute . The way Newcastle Red Bulls just got thrashed 35-12 at home is pretty shocking, you know? They've been doing alright in their pool so far but they couldn't match Dragons' intensity and strategy .

I'm a bit worried for them now that they're going to be playing Perpignan next. If they want to avoid getting knocked out, they need to step up their game big time . Meanwhile, Dragons are on fire right now . They've got some talented players like Rio Dyer and Brodie Coghlan who just took it to Newcastle Red Bulls. It's going to be a tough task for the other teams in Pool Two but I think Dragons have what it takes to make it to the last 16 .

For me, the most interesting thing is that this win has put pressure on Perpignan and Lions to get their act together . If they don't, they could be knocked out of the competition easily . We'll just have to wait and see what happens next!

omg i'm so hyped for dragons!!! they're on fire right now ! that bonus point win was sweet as, especially with rio dyer scoring two tries and brodie coghlan's match-winning try angus obrien is doing a great job with those penalties too what's even better is that they're moving closer to getting an away tie in the last 16! fingers crossed for them

I'm loving how this European Challenge Cup is heating up ! The way Dragons took down Newcastle Red Bulls 35-12 was just pure domination . I mean, their lineout drive was on point and they really showed off their skills out there . And can we talk about Rio Dyer's two tries? The guy's on fire ! But seriously, this win has put the Dragons in a great position to secure that away tie in the last 16 - fingers crossed for them . It's going to be super competitive between Perpignan and Lions next, so we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out . One thing's for sure though, this competition is getting more exciting by the minute !

omg i dont get why rugby is so hard to understand like whats a bonus-point win even?? does it mean they score more points than the other team or something? and what's with all these teams? perpignan, lions, newcastle red bulls... like how do you keep track of them all

anyway i'm glad dragons won tho! rio dyer sounds like a cool player his tries were pretty sweet i guess but i still dont really get the whole rugby thing can someone explain it to me in simple terms, pls?

I'm loving how this season is turning out for the dragons! They've been on fire lately and it's so cool to see them taking on all these tough teams and coming out on top. I mean, a 35-12 win over Newcastle Red Bulls isn't something you can just write off as an upset . The guys really showed their skills, from Rio Dyer's two tries to Angus O'Brien's impressive penalties. And let's be real, it's not like they were lucky either... those yellow cards for the Red Bulls were no joke! Still, I've got to keep an eye on that Perpignan game and see how it all shakes out before the dragons can make their move in the last 16... fingers crossed!

 

[WWII]

Ugh , can't believe how easy it was for them to beat Newcastle... I mean, come on, a bonus point win should be harder than that, especially against a team with a good record . The Red Bulls looked like they were in trouble from the start and their yellow cards didn't help . It's just not fair that Dragons get to stay in the competition while Newcastle gets knocked out . And now they're so close to getting an away tie, but we all know how this story is gonna end... disappointment .

 

[Better Bug]

I'm literally freaking out right now! I mean, how can they not be confident about making it to the last 16? I was just saying that Dragons were struggling all season and this win is going to carry them through to the next round... wait nope, did I say that? That's not true! They must have been rubbish the entire time, a bonus point win means nothing if they can't even beat Newcastle Red Bulls! But on the other hand, what's going to happen in their next game? Are they just gonna get destroyed again or will they somehow manage to scrape through? Ugh, my head is spinning.

 

[Distu]

Ugh, forum posts are always so delayed ! I just saw this news about the Dragons' win over Newcastle Red Bulls and I'm still trying to catch my breath . Seriously though, Dragons played an amazing game and it's no surprise they're on track for a last 16 spot. Rio Dyer's two tries were insane ️! But can we talk about how annoying it is when the forum updates every five minutes? I was trying to scroll through my notifications and then BAM, my phone just updated three times in quick succession . Can't they just make the update button a bit more intuitive?

 

[Mario's Jungle]

omg can u believe dragons just secured a bonus point win against newcastle red bulls? they're literally on the verge of making it to the last 16 and it's not looking good for newcastle tbh filo tiatia must be so stoked, their coach is on fire but seriously tho, this just means another tough match ahead for dragons... can they keep their winning streak going?

 

[Search for the Outlaw]

omg congrats to the dragons squad , two tries from rio dyer? that's what i call a wing takeover ! can't wait for their next game, fingers crossed they take it easy on perpignan and avoid getting knocked out . and nice work angus o'brien, four penalties? you're like the kick king . but seriously, newcastle red bulls got served . all those yellow cards didn't help them much, guess that's what happens when you underestimate the dragons !

 

[Interstellar Train in Sp]

I'm loving how Filo Tiatia's team is on fire right now! They're playing some top-notch rugby and it's amazing to see them bounce back from those tough losses earlier in the season. The guys are really stepping up their game, like Rio Dyer's two tries were pure magic . And Angus O'Brien's been absolutely clutch with those penalties . The Dragons' fans must be on cloud nine right now, can't wait to see them progress to the last 16

 

[Retarded Math Ope]

idk how much longer they can keep this up tho they're playing so well but still got a few hiccups and i'm not getting my hopes up yet... still gonna be a tough one to make it to the last 16 but fingers crossed if they do, they should def be playing in a away match

 

[Uninterested Unico]

I think it's funny how people always assume that just because the dragons scored more points than Newcastle Red Bulls, they must've been way better at rugby... I mean, come on, Dragons still had some pretty sloppy defense out there . And don't even get me started on those yellow cards for Newcastle - like, a bit too eager to send guys off aren't they? . Anyways, still a solid win for the dragons and now they're looking good to make it to the last 16... let's see how they do against Perpignan .
