Cardiff defeated Ospreys 26-0 in a Welsh rugby derby at St Helen's in Swansea.
Cardiff defeated Ospreys 26-0 in a Welsh United Rugby Championship derby at St Helen's in Swansea on Saturday night. Tom Bowen scored twice, with additional tries from Josh Adams and Tom Howe, as Cardiff secured a bonus point victory. The result moved Cardiff into the top eight of the competition.
Cardiff's defence was the standout feature, keeping Ospreys scoreless despite the hosts making numerous entries into the red zone. It was Ospreys' first defeat in over two years without scoring. Cardiff dominated the opening 40 minutes, controlling the breakdown and scoring three tries in the first half.
Wales U20s duo Steff Emanuel and Bowen were central to Cardiff's success. Emanuel, playing at centre, was involved in all three first-half tries, including setting up Bowen's first with a loop pass and creating space for his second with a pull-back pass to Jarrod Evans. Emanuel also made a defensive contribution late in the match to deny Ospreys a consolation try. The victory came after Cardiff's win against Dragons the previous week, whilst Ospreys had won their previous match before this defeat.
