HT: Dragons 8-7 Scarlets
They hear you Ifan!
It's Dragons who take a one-point advantage down the tunnel.
Summary
Judgement Day double-header from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Ospreys 19-36 Cardiff: Keiran Williams try puts Ospreys ahead, before Alex Mann and Gabriel Hamer-Webb doubles give Cardiff handy half-time lead. Ospreys' Will Spencer and Kieran Hardy narrow gap, but late penalty try and Hamer-Webb's hat-trick seal Cardiff win.
Dragons 23-31 Scarlets: Henry Thomas try opens scoring for Scarlets, with Jared Rosser replying for Dragons. Ashton Hewitt and fellow Dragons wing Rosser cross in quick succession after the break, but Alec Hepburn, Vaea Fifita and Blair Murray claim tries for Scarlets.
Cardiff lift the Welsh Shield as top dog in games between the four Welsh regions during the United Rugby Championship season.
