Dragons' Head Coach, Kingsley Jones acknowledged that he had long been an admirer of Knoyle, who is approaching 100 Regional games in addition to his experience in the English Premiership with Gloucester. Jones commented: "Having quality players vying for places in all positions is vital for our development.

"Tavis has a skill set that will compliment the strengths of both Charlie Davies and Sarel Pretorius, and he is someone who will certainly make selection for the scrum-half slot even more competitive."
