Dragons followed up their European Challenge Cup win against Lyon by dismantling Connacht for back-to-back successes for the first time since 2022.<\/p>\n
Two wins in six days have released some pressure on Tiatia and his coaching team after reaching December without victory in any competition in 2025.<\/p>\n
There has been a reaction to an embarrassing 41-17 defeat by Perpignan, who look doomed to relegation despite recording a first Top 14 win of the season against Clermont Auvergne at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Amid talk of what Dragons bring to the table in uncertain times for Welsh rugby, the squad have produced two timely victories.<\/p>\n
The thrashing of Connacht has lifted them above both Scarlets and Ospreys, prompting hopes of not only a fight to avoid being the URC’s bottom team with Zebre, but a scrap to lose the tag as Wales’ worst.<\/p>\n
Tiatia will not get carried away after one victory to end a 15-month, 23-game streak without league success.<\/p>\n
“We are trying to put wins together but also trying to build a game that the fans want to see,” said the former All Blacks forward.<\/p>\n
“We are building belief in what they are trying to achieve together, particularly when fatigue sets in.<\/p>\n
“There is also the mental side of the game, because we have a lot of young guys that don’t have those tools.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
