Wales number eight Aaron Wainwright will leave Dragons for Leicester in 2026 [Huw Evans Picture Agency]Boss Filo Tiatia insists Dragons will not be distracted by their upcoming Challenge Cup semi-final when they attempt to end a United Rugby Championship (URC) away drought at Zebre.The Rodney Parade club make a swift return to Parma on Friday (19:45 BST) to face the side that they beat in the quarter-finals of the second-tier European competition.That 35-32 success, which was more comprehensive than the scoreline suggests, has earned a trip to Montpellier on Sunday, 3 May and the chance for Dragons to reach a first final at the fourth time of asking."It's pretty easy to put it out of the mind," said head coach Filo Tiatia. "The job at hand is versus Zebre and there's an opportunity to put a performance in and climb up the table."Dragons sign back-row 'scrapper' Peita from BluesCardiff takeover deal with Ospreys owners collapsesDragons have resisted the temptation to protect key figures at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi - there are nine survivors from the quarter-final starting line-up.Talisman Aaron Wainwright and co-captains Ben Carter and Angus O'Brien return after being rested for a heavy defeat by Bulls last time out.Tiatia does give a breather to wing Rio Dyer, centre Fine Inisi, tight-head prop Chris Coleman and back-row forwards Ryan Woodman and Harri Keddie.Tight-head prop Dillon Lewis returned from a calf injury from the bench against Bulls and makes his first start since 11 October while scrum-half Rhodri Williams is back from a head injury."There's a little bit of managing players, looking at who needs game time and who has earned the opportunity to put the jersey on," said Tiatia."We are trying to form competition within the group. We gave opportunities against Bulls and there are more this weekend."You are going to lose players to injury all the time and others need to be ready if there is an opportunity."It's a contact sport, people get hurt and the next person needs to be ready to go."Dragons' URC away droughtDragons have not won on their travels in the URC since beating Scarlets in Llanelli in April 2022, while their previous victory outside Wales was at Connacht in October 2021.They endured late defeats at Munster and Ospreys in January, while they were also competitive at Stormers and Lions before Challenge Cup victories at Stade Francais and Zebre.The Italians are fresh from a last-minute defeat at Edinburgh and are fuelled by revenge for the quarter-final defeat and the desire to chase down the one-from-bottom Dragons, who lead their hosts by seven points and trail Scarlets by two."We have to make our own luck and know what the challenge ahead is," said Tiatia."Zebre would have been disappointed losing the quarter-final but I remember vividly that some of their staff members were really clear about looking forward to us returning."We are looking forward to going to Parma and having a scrap."How they line upZebre: TBCReplacements: TBCDragons: O'Brien (co-capt); Richards, Paea, Owen, J Rosser; de Beer, R Williams; Martinez, Coghlan, Lewis, Douglas, Carter (co-capt), Lewis-Hughes, Young, Wainwright.Replacements: Dee, R Jones, James, Screech, S Davies, M Lloyd, Ackerman, Anderson.Referee: Ru Campbell (SRU)Assistants: Gianlucca Gnecchi & Lorenzo Pedezzi (FIR)TMO: Colin Brett (SRU)
