Dragons boss Dean Ryan has responded to proposals for his team to be scrapped for the betterment of Welsh rugby in a new report and insisted it was business as usual for the Gwent side.
The Professional Rugby Board, tasked with managing the pro game in Wales, commissioned the report from Oakwell Sports Advisory to assess the 'strategic options' available to move Welsh rugby forward. One of the recommendations is for the Dragons to cease to exist.
Another suggestion was that the previously failed Scarlets-Ospreys merger be revived. And the information has emerged just days before the Dragons face the Ospreys at the Swansea.com Stadium this weekend.
