Fly-half Jason Tovey will make his 100th start for the Newport Gwent Dragons after being named in the starting XV to face Benetton Treviso tomorrow night (6.30pm)
The 25-year-old made his first appearance for the men of Gwent in the 2008 Magners League, when the Dragons played against fellow Welsh region the Ospreys. Before this he spent two years in the Dragons academy before moving on to play for Newport RFC in 2006. The versatile back has also represented Wales at Under 20s level and has been called up into the senior Wales squad.
In 2012 Tovey left the Dragons and moved to the Cardiff Blues. He was with the rival region for one season before returning to his home club.
Playing his last game of the season against Treviso Tovey said: “On Saturday we really need to go out with a bang for the end of the season.
“We were pretty poor out there the first half, so we need to make sure that it doesn’t happen at home for us. They have a really big pack and they use it to the best of their abilities. Our forwards are looking to front up against them and take control of the game for that crucial win.â€
