Dragons RFC face off against Newcastle Red Bulls in Challenge Cup Round 4 on Fri 16th January 2026 at Rodney Parade. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 20:00. In South Africa it’s at 22:00 SAST, 09:00 NZST in New Zealand, 07:00 AEST in Australia and 12:00 EST in the US.
Dragons RFC won the last encounter but Dragons RFC are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 place in the league table with Newcastle Red Bulls in 2nd and Dragons RFC in 3rd underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Dragons RFC vs Newcastle Red Bulls will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
