Jonathon Evans and Steffan Jones vs Rhys Webb and Matthew Morgan will be an interesting battle...

Dan Evans is on for Mike Poole, poor bloke he has been beset by injury.

This is a very strong Dragons team, filled with exciting young talent. Evans and Jones combined superbly at Halfback, Adam Hughes looks sublime at 13...!

Great pressure by the Ospreys, orchestrated by the intelligent halfbacks bringing men on to the ball with power and pace. It results in a yellow card for the dragons number 8.

morgan gets this one in front of the posts

6 - 3

Great scrum by the O's

Considering the front five are very inexperienced above premiership level.

Ospreys infringing at rucks in defence and lose young Morgan Allen to the sin bin.

Penalty awarded to the Dragons pretty much in front of the posts.

Both teams are down to 14 players now, but Dragons get another penalty so they edge further ahead.

9-3 at 29 minutes.

Jamie Murphy of Bridgend is looking solid if unspectacular at 15... He has been playing well for the Ravens this season... He is a good footballer but doesnt look too quick tonight.

Good pressure by the O's there. Murphy and Grabham the Bridgend boys linking well on the right wing... morgan Drop goal attempt hits the post and re-bounds but a penalty has been awarded to the Ospreys.

What a rubbish game this is, M Morgan and Webb not having a great game. The Dragons started really well but seem to be fading as the game goes on, A Jones is lucky not to be yellowed. Hope it improves in the second half.

Morgan at the posts... dragons concede another penalty in their 22...


morgan and Webb are playing good pressure rugby. May not be free running Glam but look at the weather!!!

The scores are level and that is proof in the pudding that they are doing a good job.

Half Time...!

9 - 9

Two sin binnings one each and the play for most of the last quarter has been Ospreys. Their young pack are doing very well. Jonathon Thomas is the only recognisably experienced face.

Dragons need to work hard to get back into this....!

Both teams look better when they move tha ball, the quality of the kicking is poor and so many penalties for diving over, not releasing the tackled player and pulling down mauls there should have been more yellow cards.

What an intrigueing game, some very good performances (J. Evans, Jones, Allen, Parry, Dixon) and some very good basics in very poor conditions.

Credit to both teams for their attempts to play something other than 9 man rugby, and credit to the Ospreys for that style of play, especially as the Dragons fielded a stronger side!

Good game to watch, interesting to see so many U20/youth matchups in key areas.

Only dissapointment was Webb, again!

Was a poor game technically, but dreadful conditions. Ref didn't help either side really. His signalling was atrocious too, as when he's getting people onside, it looks like he's given that side the penalty. Plus when Ospreys had their penalty right in front of the posts and near our line it looked like he gave a penalty try. Dragons were stronger on paper, but a lot of youngsters and second/third string on show and you can't fault either side for their effort, given the near monsoon.

Delighted for Steff. Time to trust him now. He was 100% with the boot and made his tackles (which he gets stick for). I'll take the win, as we needed it but I hope we wake up a bit. 6-0 up and we were in control, then we switched off for a while.

Last two points, if I were the O's, I'd stick with Habberfield over Webb (as Webb is not playing well) and most importantly, get well soon Pooley. Gutted for him. Was a good break before his misfortune too.

Nice to see two young sides going hard at each other. Wasn't a high quality spectical but in awful conditions I couldn't complain.

I can't see how Jonny Evans didn't make the Welsh squad, another good performance from the young 9 and great to see Steffan nail 6/6 tonight and his work rate is very good for a 10. I Jones once again put in a big game at 8 and Mathew Morgan excites me every time he has the ball. I'd love to see him week in week out. Webb is terrible.


All the best to Mike Poole. What an u lucky man he is.. Mr commitment.

Just watching it back. What farcical touch judging before the try. Firstly incorrectly calling Rhys Webb's kick as not straight out and then not being able to judge that Pewtner took the ball back over his own line and then dead.
