Dragons sang their victory song for the first time in 364 days after a dramatic and unlikely European Challenge Cup comeback win against Lyon.
Now they are tasked with repeating the trick despite a six-day turnaround.
The Rodney Parade club recorded their first victory of 2025 when they edged past their French opponents 23-21 in Newport on Sunday.
Filo Tiatia’s side looked doomed when trailing 21-6 in the final quarter, but scored late tries through Harri Keddie (2) and then Oli Burrows, allowing full-back Angus O’Brien to slot the match-winning conversion in the 80th minute.
Dragons ended a wait for a victory that went back to their success at Newcastle in the Challenge Cup on 15 December, 2024.
It was their first win on home soil since overcoming Ospreys in the United Rugby Championship (URC) on the opening weekend of 2024-25 – a 14-month wait – and they do not have long to enjoy it.
Connacht travel to Wales on Saturday (19:45 GMT) and Dragons know they must produce a performance that is several notches up from the one that ultimately edged out a poor Lyon side.
“It feels awesome and the most important thing was that we won,” said O’Brien, who captained the side in the absence of Wales lock Ben Carter.
“The boys showed great character, grit and determination. I am so pleased for everybody that we managed to get over the line.
“It’s important we build on that now and take great confidence from the way that we finished the game.”
