Dragons Vs Hollywoodbets Sharks Rugby Match

The Dragons are preparing to host the Hollywoodbets Sharks in a United Rugby Championship encounter at Rodney Parade in Newport. Coming off a victory in Round 1 against the Ospreys, last season’s Welsh Shield winners, the Dragons aim to secure another win against the defending EPCR Challenge Cup champions. The matchup is set to take place at 12:15 p.m. on October 5, 2024, and will be part of a special free streaming preview available on FloRugby‘s YouTube account.

The Hollywoodbets Sharks, the 2024 Currie Cup champions, are entering the match without some of their key national players, including Siya Kolisi and Eben Etzebeth, as they have not yet joined the squad. Despite these absences, the South African team is eager to avoid a repeat of last week’s second-half difficulties.

Last season, the Dragons managed only three victories, finishing 15th in the final standings. However, they have an opportunity to notch their second win of the current season in this Round 3 matchup. Rugby fans in the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada can watch the match live and on-demand via FloRugby, which also offers archives and replays of rugby matches.

The standings in the United Rugby Championship after two rounds show Leinster Rugby and Cardiff Rugby leading the table, both undefeated. The Dragons currently stand at 11th place, while their opponents, the Sharks, are yet to register a win this season.

The rugby community is also gearing up for the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 in England, with excitement building and tickets now available for purchase.
