Ospreys secured their first win of the season with a 38-31 victory over Dragons in a Welsh rugby derby at Rodney Parade.
Ospreys secured their first win of the United Rugby Championship season with a 38-31 victory over Dragons in a high-scoring Welsh derby at Rodney Parade. The match saw the lead change hands on eight occasions, with ten tries scored across the two sides.
For the Ospreys, Morgan Morris scored two tries late in the match to seal the victory. Sam Parry also scored twice, whilst Ross Moriarty and Keelan Giles crossed the line. The Dragons scored five tries: Elliot Dee went over twice, there was a penalty try, and Anzelo Tuitavuki scored. A late penalty from Angus O'Brien gave Dragons two match points.
The match took its toll on both teams. Dragons lost three props during the game, which affected their scrummaging in the final quarter. The Ospreys suffered their own injury setbacks, with new Australian winger Marika Koroibete lasting only 30 minutes on his debut and Wales scrum-half Kieran Hardy forced off with a leg injury. The attritional nature of the game was evident from the seven tries that came from attacking driving line-outs.
