Meanwhile, Catalans have revealed they are hosting some Manchester City players and staff at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium for four days his week.

But the likes of Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling won't be rubbing shoulders with Sam Tomkins and co - Pep Guardiola's title-chasers play Cardiff tonight, and only players recovering from long-term injuries are making the trip.

They will also take part in staff ideas exchange on best practice and integrate around the Dragons training schedule.

This has been arranged in collaboration with Manchester City Head of Academy Sport Science, Nick Chadd, a former colleague of Dragons’ head of performance Richard Hunwicks.
