JASON Forster may be the leading Celtic League try-scorer since the fledgling competition began, but the Dragons captain admits he doesn't care who scores the tries as long as his side win.
Forster scored two tries in the Dragons' 32-18 victory over Glasgow on Friday night, making him the leading Celtic League try scorer with 24.
It was also his tenth try of the season, not bad for an ageing 35-year-old.
But as the back-row forward has shown this season, he still has what it takes to perform at regional level.
He said: "I've always been a try-scorer and it was great to grab a couple on Friday, but it was more important for the team to get five points than it was for me to score tries and I don't care who gets them as long as we win.
"I don't know why I've scored so many. It's normally the guys on the wing that get all the glory. But what I will say is that it is a lot easier to score from five yards out on the back of a driving maul than it is in most places, so I guess that has something to do with it.
"It's a great honour and it's good to know that one day when I look back on my career I can say that I was at the top of the pack when it came to Celtic League try-scorers.
"Hopefully I can get a few more but both my tries on Friday were the result of some hard-work on the training ground which the boys did well to execute on the pitch."
Forster's Dragons look as though they will have to go through a play-off to qualify for next season's Heineken Cup.
But despite that indignity, Forster still believes that the Dragons have a squad capable of being competitive in all competitions they take part in.
He said: "When you lose the likes of Kevin Morgan, Nathan Brew and Gareth Cooper for most of the season that is bound to have an impact.
"But still you look around the changing-room and see the likes of Michael Owen, Ian Gough and Ceri Sweeney and you think that these guys are Grand Slam winners and that is still a lot of talent.
"We have some good young players coming through and this season will be good for their development and if we can add a few names to the squad then you start to look around and realise that things aren't as bad as they seem, and that is what we have to remember."
