Listen to BBC Radio Wales commentary and follow live text updates of the Welsh derby between Ospreys and Dragons at the Swansea.com Stadium in the United Rugby Championship.
Ospreys need victory to maintain hopes of reaching end-of-season play-offsOspreys beaten in last two URC games, Dragons have one win in last sevenDragons have not beaten Ospreys in Swansea since 2010, and have not won an away URC game anywhere since April 2022An Ospreys win would secure the Welsh ShieldChris Hollis has been quite quiet since joining on loan from Stormers but he certainly made his presence felt there.
Then from an attacking line-out, the Dragons forwards make yards before Sio Tomkinson - fresh on the field - steps two defenders before passing to Will Reed for the score.Dragons' ill-discipline has again cost them. A yellow card last week allowed the Stormers to win the match in the final minutes and history has repeated itself here in Swansea.
Two yellow cards and Ospreys have managed to score 19 points. Can Dragons cut out the penalties and get themselves back into this match?Dane Blacker, back on the field, makes a crucial interception while tracking back, as Ospreys would have surely been in for a fourth try on the left wing if he had not.Both packs go back for the reset and the Ospreys are immediately awarded a penalty - Chris Coleman the guilty party for the Dragons.
I still think they look better when they play at tempo. I hope they do that rather than paint-by-numbers rugby.Among the flurry of replacements, the Dragons have won a scrum midway inside the Ospreys half along the right touchline.Ryan Woodman has come on and it will be interesting to see how he goes. There is a lot of talk about him in the Gwent area.It was initially good defence but it was Will Reed in the five-metre channel and the Ospreys went through that channel.
