After nine years with Gloucester in the English Premiership, new Dragons fly-half Lloyd Evans is excited by the new challenges facing him in the BKT URC.

The meeting with South Africa’s Sharks comes after games against Welsh (Ospreys) and Irish (Leinster) opposition in the opening two rounds of the multi-country league.

“In this competition, you are traveling to teams all over the place and lots of different styles,” Evans said.

“The Ospreys game and the Leinster game were completely different, different tempo, but it is exciting for me facing those different challenges.

“It’s been about getting time in the saddle and integrating into the team for me.”

Reflecting on last weekend’s 34-6 defeat to Leinster at the Aviva Stadium, he said: “We were proud of the effort for 50 or 60 minutes. We matched them physically and were in the game, but it tailed off towards the end.

“There were positives, but it was a tough one to take when you look at the score.

“We have a big home game now against the Sharks and we must target that. We need to go again.”

The Sharks will also be looking for a response having lost 36-30 to Connacht in Galway after letting a 27-7 lead slip away.
