Dragons are the first Welsh team in action when they travel to face Ulster in Belfast on Friday night.The club have been the most vocal of the regions in criticising the plans to drop to two sides, stating “Welsh rugby deserves better and the WRU must rethink”.Chair David Wright says the initial proposals “don’t add up” and that there was no way the Dragons could agree to them as they were.Co-captain and Wales lock Ben Carter says it is a concern but has praised his squad on focusing on the rugby which he says is “the number one priority”.His head coach Filo Tiatia agrees.”What happens with the WRU, we’ll leave it with our chairman and CEO and they’ll fight the battle,” said the former All Black.”What we can focus on is how we move forward with the current conditions and what we know.”There’s talk of two teams, we can’t control that. We might as well not focus on the things because we’re burning energy.”
