🏉 In a thrilling Welsh derby, the Ospreys clinched victory over the Dragons with a nail-biting last-minute try from Wales wing Keelan Giles. On a night filled with drama both on and off the field, the Ospreys triumphed 19-13.
The scene was set at Brewery Field, where a strong protest from Ospreys supporters took place before kick-off, highlighting uncertainties around the team’s future. The match itself did not disappoint in drama. The Dragons seemed poised to break their away game curse with a lead, only for the Ospreys to fight back with two tries in the final 10 minutes, securing a spot in the top eight of the URC table.
It was a game of resilience and grit. The Dragons began losing their starting props early on due to injuries, yet kept pushing forward. Dragons’ Rio Dyer, keen to shine, had multiple attempts thwarted near the try line. It was Gruff Rees’ sidestep that finally opened up the Ospreys defence for the Dragons’ first score.
The Ospreys, undeterred, capitalized on a second-half opportunity when Dragons’ Cebo Dlamini was yellow-carded for a high tackle. A powerful maul and score by replacement hooker Lloyd set the stage for an edge-of-the-seat finish.
With just minutes left on the clock, Keelan Giles found the gap and sprinted over the line, sealing the Ospreys’ victory and leaving Dragons’ hearts broken.
