Mike Ruddock Squad Quotations

Mike was a vital member of our squad during the Six Nations last season, when Gareth Cooper was out injured,

From a Dragons point of view, it's bad news. They've had a multitude of injuries and they have a small squad anyway. I feel for Paul and the Dragons and I hope they can find a way of covering the losses.

There is every chance Evans will be added to the squad once he has served his suspension. Henson has played less rugby and he needs to prove himself in his potential outing for the Ospreys on Feb. 17, but the door is certainly open for him to also make a return.

It's great to see Mark Jones in the squad after two very serious knee operations. He is a recognized finisher, try-scorer and line-breaker and you have to be impressed by his determination to get himself back on the field after such serious injuries.
