Former Wales Under-20s captain Harry Beddall is making a name for himself in the United Rugby Championship (URC). The open-side flanker, who joined the Dragons last summer, has quickly become a key player. Despite his relatively small stature at 5ft 10in, Beddall is proving to be a force to be reckoned with, showcasing remarkable defensive skills and a high work rate.

Beddall's impressive performances include a standout defensive display against Munster, where he made 33 tackles in a close loss. His relentless tackling ability has placed him 15th in the league's tackle chart, despite only playing in six games. This defensive prowess isn't new; he previously topped the tackle chart in the 2025 Under-20 Six Nations.

Dragons' defense coach Dale MacLeod praised Beddall's tenacity and attitude. His ability to compete with bigger players has earned him a starting spot. The young flanker is learning from senior teammates. With his impressive form, Beddall is pushing for continued selection, making him a crucial player for the team.

The Dragons face Ospreys next. Beddall's performance will be crucial as he competes with other talented players for the seven jersey. His rapid rise in the URC suggests a promising future. The Welsh rugby community will be watching his progress closely, hoping he can continue to impress and develop his game.
