Newport Gwent Dragons have won their last three Celtic League games and have jumped to third place in the table - but returning captain Jason Forster insists there is more to come from the side.

They face a tricky game in Belfast tomorrow against an Ulster team smarting from successive home defeats and desperate to avoid losing three on the trot at Ravenhill for the first time for over four years.

But Forster remains typically defiant and upbeat and says they can go far under former Australia rugby league coach Chris Anderson, who is gradually putting his stamp on the Dragons.

"We have only been together as a squad for a short time and there is a lot more to come from us," said Forster.

"The players are gelling superbly, there is great team spirit and confidence here, we just want to go out and win. And as a squad we've got strength in depth as well as great individuals. Hopefully we'll see the benefits.

"It's up to us to go on the road now (the Dragons are at Galashiels to face Borders next week) and make a statement. The Newport Gwent Dragons bandwagon is rolling on.

"One good thing about the coach is that he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't get excited. He's won big things in the past. We've got to go out there and be consistent whether we score four or five tries or just win 3-0."

Forster recognises the big threat posed by Ulster and Ireland outside half David Humphreys who ran the show on their last visit to Ravenhill in the Heineken Cup last season, scoring a try and setting up another in the opening quarter to put the tie out of the Dragons' reach.

"He'll kick to the corners, 50 or 60 metres downfield, which will be great for their forwards," he said. "He's a world class player who knows how to run the game. We have got to close him down.

"Our discipline will have to be of the highest order, that is very important with Humphreys about. It nearly cost us the game against Glasgow and Dan Parks.

"But Jamie Ringer is in sublime form, he's been unlucky, people forget that he's been around a while but he's not that old. It's up to me to get up to his standard. But it's going to be tough especially with the two home losses Ulster have had. They are a very passionate region and it's rare for them to lose two on the trot, though we'd like to pile on a bit more misery."

Forster even admits he was fortunate to get back into the team having missed the Glasgow and Leinster games, both of which produced excellent wins for the Dragons. I regard myself as very lucky, I thought I would be on the bench," he said. "Now it's up to me to repay the faith of the coach and get up to the standard of the last few weeks. The other boys did really well."

Anderson has no such doubts. "Jason Forster is our leader and we expect him to be there," he said. "We're confident with him there, we like his team talks and he adds a bit of aggression and leadership which is something the team needs."
