But its not to be! Dragons penalised and Stade clear their lines with a boot to touch.

Dragons attack is paying off they have a real opportunity here with a scrum 5 meters from the Stade line.

Dragons on the attack again with Amos chipping over the Stade defensive line, Williams collects however and Stade is on the front foot.

Stade again penalised for an infringement at the ruck, Prydie steps up and bisects the posts beautifully to add to his sides lead. Discipline becoming a factor early on in this game.

Dragons really sending a message of intent to the rest of the competition with that opening 5 minutes, all action let's see how Stade respond.

TRY! James Thomas crashes over the line to give his side a bit of breathing room in the opening 5 minutes here, Prydie converts to extend their lead to ten points.

And as soon as the game has begun so has the scoring, after the kickoff Stade are penalised and the kick slotted by Tom Prydie who starts off with a great kick.

In typical welsh fashion the teams run onto the field with flames and fireworks either side of them.

Both sides exiting the dressing rooms and heading to the field, this game is nearly underway!
