In today’s highly-anticipated rugby match, the Ospreys and Dragons are preparing to face off, with the Ospreys knowing that only a victory will keep them in contention for the United Rugby Championship play-offs. Currently sitting in 11th place in the table, the Ospreys are eight points behind Benetton, who holds the final play-off place. With just two rounds of fixtures left, the Ospreys are determined to secure a victory, ideally with a bonus point, to remain competitive. This adds even more pressure to today’s match, with their final regular-season fixture against Cardiff at Judgement Day fast approaching.
Toby Booth’s squad has received a significant boost with the return of Wales’ Rugby World Cup co-captain, Jac Morgan, who is set to make his first start in five months. The team also boasts a formidable pack including Justin Tipuric, Morgan Morris, Nicky Smith, and Dewi Lake. Additionally, there is plenty of firepower behind the scrum with Owen Watkin, Keiran Williams, and Keelan Giles ready to make their mark.
The Dragons have not emerged victorious in Swansea since 2010, adding an extra layer of anticipation to today’s game. Even though they are currently out of the play-off picture, they possess a strong lineup of players who will be eager to showcase their talent and potentially secure a spot in Wales’ summer squad. Players to watch include second-row Ben Carter and the in-form Wales No 8 Aaron Wainwright.
