The 27-year-old was
outstanding in the Dragons' 13-13 draw against Benetton. The score is
impressive. Wales kick off their Six Nations campaign in Dublin on February 5.

Wales head coach Wayne Pivac is looking to move forward with injuries to defenders England and Ireland Lions Justin Tipuric, Josh Navidi, Taulupe Faletau and Dan Lydiate. Moriarty was able to prove his playing form.
Moriarty was the Dragons'
most striking performance when he captained the United Rugby Championship,
proving that he offers a physical advantage that other current Welsh options
don't.
"I couldn't really mark
myself too much this match was a very stop-start," he said.
"I feel good, my body
is good, and that’s all that matters. I miss it already and it's nice to be
back on the field."
"It's good to get the
challenges, It's nice to be in the game and come out unharmed and carry what I
need so I'm just happy to be on the field and be one to get out."
When called up next weekend,
Moriarty will win his 50th Wales cap as he joins forces with Aaron Wainwright,
Ellis Jenkins, James Ratti, Taine Basham, and Jac Morgan who battled for the
back row.
"Confidently I can play
next week, it’s been a long time. The Six Nations is a special moment,
particularly now that the fans are coming back.
Dean Ryan, head of the rugby
union team, praised his returning captain and emphasized his contribution.

"After not playing for three months and he's the best man for the game you can see the changes a player like Ross can make," Ryan added.
"We can get out of him
without putting pressure on him I've talked to Wayne Pivac and it's the limit.
"I know Wayne has to
make a decision next week and we want Ross to have the best chance.
With Moriarty on the job in
Wales, the Dragons had a two-week hiatus before resuming a season in which they
took just one win in 11 games.
Moriarty acknowledged that
more wins were desperately needed to boost morale.
"Try to stay positive
and keep going, we have to get through it we are in a difficult situation at
the moment, stick together, start training in a few weeks.
Sent-off Dee's apology
Dragon’s hooker Elliot Dee's
initial hopes of returning to Wales seemed doomed to fail when he was sent off
at the last minute for head-shaking with opponents Benetton as he tried to
clear the trash side by side.
Dee, who later say sorry for
the incident on social media, was initially sidelined by Pivac with an ankle
injury, but then came on as a substitute against Benetton.
