Dragons urged to appoint Danny Wilson following his departure from Glasgow

The Dragons have been urged to snap up Danny Wilson now he is a free agent after being shown the door by Glasgow. The former Cardiff Blues boss was sacked from his role as head coach at the Scottish side following their 76-14 defeat to Leinster in the United Rugby Championship quarter-finals.

But former Wales forward Andrew Coombs is convinced Wilson still has a lot to offer and speaks from personal experience having played under him at the Dragons. You can read about Coombs' own rugby story here.

There has been talk of the region shaking-up their backroom team with director of rugby Dean Ryan moving into more of a mentoring role and a head coach being appointed. The 10-times capped Coombs, now a TV pundit, believes Wilson would be the perfect fit for that new role. He was very impressed with the former hooker during his spell as forwards coach at the Dragons a decade or so again.
