URC: Dragons need locks to hit Rowlands' heights at Benetton

Rowlands has been a key player for the Dragons since joining them from Wasps last summer. He will miss the trip to Treviso on Sunday. Rowlands will be rested for games against Cardiff and the Ospreys. The Dragons have brought in Sean Lonsdale and George Nott from Exeter and London Irish. They will play the autumn internationals. They are hoping to improve their squad. It is early days but Linsdale, Notst and Carter look to be good signings. For the World Cup, the forwards need to perform well. Wales have to play big home games in front of the fans.
