Fresh from receiving rave reviews for his derby day display for the Dragons, Will Reed then turned his attention to his other rugby role - coaching Cwmbran U15s.
It was just a second regional start for the 20-year-old fly-half versus Cardiff at Rodney Parade on Friday night, but you would never have known it. He didn’t look out of place at all up against Rhys Priestland, just as he had impressed when lining up versus Gareth Anscombe in the meeting with the Ospreys last week.
Shaking off a bang to the jaw in an incident which saw Cardiff hooker Liam Belcher red carded (you can read about the angry reaction to that here ), he returned to the field to play his part in a try for centre Jack Dixon, while his overall play was classy and assured. It was almost the perfect night for him, only for his late penalty attempt to drift agonisingly wide of the posts, meaning the Dragons went down to a 19-18 defeat.
