Dai Flanagan has unfinished business to attend to as he steps into his new role as head coach at the Dragons. He was born and bred in the region and still lives there today, but he never played for the Men of Gwent.
Instead his career took him to Pontypridd, Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys ahead of a move into coaching with the Scarlets. Now, after some eight years down in Llanelli, working first with the Academy and then, for the past three seasons, as backs coach, he is taking on a high-profile job with the Dragons he says was just too good to turn down. He will work under Director of Rugby Dean Ryan, with his focus being firmly on day-to-day coaching and bringing the best out in players.
