They were some great, positive phases from the Dragons, they really showed their power.

That could be a big moment.

Dragons prop Rodrigo Martinez comes so close to an instant impact after coming on, trying to barge over from close range only to be held up over the line.

The Red Bulls have to weather this storm here. Their under the cosh.

Great from the Dragons. The maul from the lineout has been so powerful today.

Sure enough, it's deemed a dangerous tackle and Jamie Hodgson sees yellow. He's saved a red by dint of the fact he was trying to wrap the arms.

There's no malice in that for me. I think it's a yellow.

TMO Marius Jonker is looking at a potentially dangerous tackle here after Dragons centre Aneurin Owen was hit in midfield by Jamie Hodgson. Must say, there appeared head contact.

The Dragons just need to keep piling the pressure on - they've got Newcastle where they want them.

Still in the balance this one.

So where's your money? As their at home, we'll say thumbs up for Dragons and thumbs down for a Newcastle win.

Sure enough, replays confirm no try.

Pressure still on Newcastle though with a throw-in just five metres from their line. Bravely, Richard Palframan goes long but the gamble pays off as Benitez Cruz clears his lines.

He looks short unfortunately.

What a slick move from the Dragons. We've seen some imaginative rugby from the Dragons so far.

Newcastle centre Sammy Arnold is pinged for playing the ball on the floor and Angus O'Brien sets up the lineout chance.

A lovely set move culminates with Aaron Wainwright feeding the ball back to Brodie Coughlan and the hooker charges to the corner......it looks like he was bundled into touch inches short of the line though.

As Newcastle win a defensive penalty, should note it's heartening to see Christian Wade still speeding in for tries like that.

Some may consider him an unfulfilled talent in rugby union. But not many 34-year-olds can reflect on a career which yielded an international cap for England, a Lions tour, a shot at the NFL and time spent playing professional rugby league.

So Tinus de Beer gets us back under way for a huge 40 minutes at Rodney Parade.

Newcastle are on course to finish the pool stage with a 100 per cent winning record.

If Dragons can't scupper that with a comeback win, then their own European adventure is over.

Game on...

Dragons trail at the break and they really should have their noses in front.

They failed to make early pressure count and then shot themselves in the foot after finally breaking the deadlock.

This performance has not been up to the standards set recently - and some players have gone off script and been a little too individual - but they need to stay calm.

A bonus would be nice but Dragons need to get the win first and Newcastle are proving to be dogged in defence.

Newcastle have been so clinical tonight. They're making so many meters and playing an expansive game.

I think the Dragons can take positives from the first half but mistakes keep creeping into the game.

Those mistakes have cost them and hopefully it won't cost them too much by the end of the game.
