A Personal Connection to Dragons RFC
The story behind Kilted Dragon’s partnership with Dragons RFC is deeply personal. Growing up on Corporation Road, less than a mile from Rodney Parade, the heart of Newport rugby, Jamie spent countless hours on the terraces watching legendary teams, including the All Blacks, compete on this very pitch. This early exposure to rugby created a lifelong passion.
Playing rugby locally was a natural step. From school teams to Newport Juniors, and even training with the first team monthly as a 15-year-old, the connection to the club grew stronger. Being in the gym alongside childhood heroes was a defining moment, fuelling a dream to be part of the rugby community.
Family ties also run deep. With an uncle who served as chairman of Newport RFC for many years and a father who was a devoted Dragons fan, the club has been woven into the fabric of life. This partnership is more than business; it is a continuation of a family legacy and a personal journey.
Launch of Official Gifts and Merchandise
Kilted Dragon’s new range of official Dragons RFC merchandise offers fans a chance to own something truly unique. The highlight is the special edition O Barrel, a unique collectible that was first presented to Aneurin Owen, the Dragons Player of the Match, following an intense and thrilling game against Benetton on Saturday, 28th February.
Alongside the O Barrels, Kilted Dragon has released slate coasters, designed to reflect the club’s heritage and spirit. These items are crafted with care, combining quality materials and thoughtful design to appeal to supporters who want to expand their Dragons RFC collections.
What Makes the O Barrel Special?
