Get ready for a thrilling Welsh rugby derby this Saturday night at Brewery Field as the Ospreys take on the Dragons! The 7.45pm kick-off promises exciting rugby action with some familiar faces back on the field.
The big news is the return of Wales prop Gareth Thomas, making his first appearance since December due to a calf injury. Lining up alongside him is scrum-half Reuben Morgan-Williams, both released from the Wales Six Nations squad to boost the Ospreys.
With injuries in their ranks, the Ospreys have brought in Cormac Foley from Leinster, while the Dragons are set to welcome back prop Wyn Jones. Keep an eye out for young talent Evan Minto, who might make his first appearance of the season for the Dragons off the bench.
Both teams are looking to end a tough block on a high note. Filo Tiatia’s Dragons have shown marked improvement lately but are still searching for that elusive away win. Meanwhile, the Ospreys are eager to replicate the energy from last week’s clash against the Lions.
Dragons assistant coach Dale MacLeod emphasises the emotional weight of the fixture, ensuring his squad focuses on performance. As both teams line up with impressive talent and a will to win, it’s anyone’s guess who will control the pivotal moments and clinch victory.
