Gifted youngster Will Reed has been handed the No. 10 jersey for the Dragons’ United Rugby Championship clash with the Sharks at Rodney Parade on Saturday evening (7.35pm kick-off) as they look to build on last week’s landmark victory over Munster.
With summer signing JJ Hanrahan having taken a knock in training to join Sam Davies on the injury list, it’s the 20-year-old Reed who will be calling the shots from fly-half against the South Africans from Durban.
A product of Cwmbran RFC, he impressed with some assured displays in Welsh derbies towards the end of last season and now makes his first appearance of the new campaign.
