Mieres: Star man for Chiefs

Four first-half kicks put the Chiefs in the driving seat 12-0 at half-time in a scrappy encounter at Sandy Park, with the Dragons' indiscipline further compounded by the yellow card to scrum-half Joe Bedford.

Bedford did not reappear after serving his 10 minutes either side of the interval, being replaced by Jonathan Evans, and it was Steffan Jones who got the visitors on the scoreboard.

The young fly-half, with a first successful and second penalties, gave the Dragons hope of retrieving a 12-6 deficit but Argentine fly-half Mieres slotted two more in reply in the final quarter to secure victory and top spot in Pool Four.
