**With just one Guinness PRO14 match taking place this weekend, all eyes will be on Rodney Parade where Dragons face Benetton on Friday night.** This cross-conference clash was scheduled to be staged on February 15 only for it be called off due to Storm Dennis. Since then, Dragons slumped to a 34-19 defeat at Glasgow Warriors before coming from behind to beat Toyota Cheetahs 13-10 with Sam Davies dispatching a match-winning penalty at the death. Benetton, meanwhile, have suffered further frustration as they let slip a 19-7 lead to lose 34-24 at Cardiff Blues and then had another cancellation as their meeting with Ulster was postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy. Benetton will now look to get their campaign back on track and register their first victory of 2020. Dragons will be buoyed by last weekend’s win over Cheetahs, but they will be without last-gasp hero Davies due to training commitments with Wales. Fly-half Jacob Botica takes his place, while Josh Reynolds comes in for the injured Aaron Jarvis at loosehead prop. **Kick-off:** 7:35pm **How to watch:** Live on Premier Sports 1, eir Sport 2, DAZN, pro14.tv **Players to watch out for:** Jared Rosser v Monty Ioane With the conditions looking set fair for Friday night, both sides will aim to get the ball out to their wide men. For Dragons, Jared Rosser will provide a threat having scored in three of his past four matches. After kicking off 2020 with a double in the loss at Castres Olympique, the wing then struck in the victory over Enisei-STM and crossed against Cheetahs last weekend. Rosser appears to be back to his potent best after overcoming a fractured fibula that forced him to miss the start of the season. However Rosser will come up against Benetton dangerman Monty Ioane. The Australian-born wing has proven to be hard to stop when he gets the ball in his hands, beating 30 defenders and making 432 metres from 33 runs in the Guinness PRO14 this season. Ioane has also scored 16 tries in 38 appearances during his Benetton career and will hope to maintain that impressive strike rate. **Key stat:** Benetton have won their past four matches against Dragons including a 57-7 trouncing in Treviso and two wins in Newport. **Dragons:** Will Talbot-Davies, Jared Rosser, Adam Warren, Jack Dixon, Ashton Hewitt, Jacob Botica, Rhodri Williams (c), Josh Reynolds, Ellis Shipp, Lloyd Fairbrother, Joe Davies, Matthew Screech, Harrison Keddie, Taine Basham, Ollie Griffiths. **Replacements:** Elliot Dee, Conor Maguire, Chris Coleman, Brandon Nansen, Lewis Evans, Luke Baldwin, Arwel Robson, Connor Edwards. **Benetton Rugby:** Luca Sperandio, Angelo Esposito, Ignacio Brex, Marco Zanon, Monty Ioane, Ian Keatley (c), Charly Trussardi; Nicola Quaglio, Tomas Baravalle, Filippo Alongi, Irné Herbst, Eli Snyman, Michele Lamaro, Federico Ruzza, Toa Halafihi. **Replacements:** Hame Faiva, Federico Zani, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Marco Fuser, Giovanni Pettinelli, Luca Petrozzi, Ian McKinley, Joaquin Riera.
