Dragons have confirmed a supporter died following a medical emergency outside Rodney Parade prior to the region’s United Rugby Championship (URC) contest with Sharks.
The Gwent region faced the South African side in Newport on Saturday evening, with a supporter needing medical attention near the 8,700-capacity venue before kick-off.
Dragons have contacted their family to offer their condolences.
A club statement read: “The thoughts of us all at Dragons RFC remain with the supporter’s family and friends at this desperately sad time.”
Dragons conceded a late try as they were beaten 33-30 by the South African team.
