Assistant coach Rob Howley has committed his future to Wales until the end of the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup.
The former scrum-half revealed that the amount of potential in the Dragons squad convinced him to extend his stay with the WRU.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent with the national team so far so I am delighted that work can now continue at least until 2016," said Howley.
"We have the right structures and systems in place, a team brimful of young talent alongside some valuable experience and a mouth watering fixture schedule.
"I am personally ambitious to become the best coach I possibly can be and it is fantastic for me to be able to continue to advance my skills here in Wales with the Welsh team."
The 41-year-old took over the coaching role in 2008.
