Pro12: Ospreys 52-19 Newport Gwent Dragons
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union

The Ospreys out-classed Welsh Pro12 rivals Newport Gwent Dragons in a seven-tries-to-two rout at the Liberty Stadium.
Kahn Fotuali'i, Tom Habberfield, and Ashley Beck went over before the break.
Tom Isaacs secured the hosts' bonus point before Dan Evans went over for the visitors.
Ospreys Dan Biggar, Moldovan Dmitri Arhip and Justin Tipuric went over with Toby Faletau replying while Biggar provided 13 kicked points.
When Wales fly-half Biggar left, Matthew Morgan entered the fray to kick the conversions for Arhip & Tipuric's tries.
Dan Lydiate returned following six-month absence with a broken ankle to rekindle his bid to make the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour on the Dragons' flank.
The presence of a host of Wales' Six Nations winners may have been viewed ahead of the clash as giving the hosts a huge advantage over Welsh rugby's regional strugglers.
But the spark that gave the Ospreys the early momentum came from an altogether different source - Samoan scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i.
The half-back, who joins Northampton at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, went over for a classy early score.
And his cross-field run from a line-out gave centre Beck the chance to ghost through for the Ospreys' third try.
In between wing Habberfield, who has also played at scrum-half, displayed his own poise and pace to score.
The Dragons' only first-half points came from fly-half Steffan Jones and by the time the visitors mustered any significant further response, the Ospreys had already secured a four-try bonus point.
Lydiate - as planned by the Dragons - did not appear for the second-half on the Dragons blindside.
And he could only watch from the side-lines as the Ospreys' potent attacking threat gave wing Isaacs the chance to run clear with Fotuali'i providing the final pass.
Full-back Evans was rewarded for his efforts in an out-classed side by providing brief respite for the Dragons with a well-worked try.
A sweeping attack in which Beck went close on the right before the Ospreys switched their focus back across field ended with Biggar going over unopposed.
Another of Wales' Six Nations stars and Lions hopefuls, Faletau, snapped up loose possession to burst clear and slide over for the Dragons' second try.
Replacement prop Arhip emerged from a driving maul to claim his first Ospreys try and Tipuric rounded off a memorable week by profiting from a cross kick to run clear.

His repsonse was something like -' We;ve a big game next week and im hoping to keep my place, lloyd and kingy have been playing well and putting the presure on so hopefully i can be involved next week and it can be positive'
Yeah what a **** he is aye?
Great response in my opinion, biggest game is the next one!
Social skills and the ability to steer effortlessly through journalists and their questions is essential in the skill set of a captain.
Need to stay calm polite and only answer what you want
AWJ looked awkward
Still think he as excellent option but with a bit of coaching probably from Ryan on the media profile.
he is right to do this. when he's playing for the ospreys, interviews should be all about the ospreys.

How can any side made progress when the WRU created so many obstacles.
Ah yeah, that makes much more sense. My apologies BrizzleDragon.
I personally like the idea of central contracts but it is hard to see the WRU and the regions reaching any kind of agreement by next season. It would be new territory after all.
@36 I had a similar thought (as a Blues fan) you combine the best of the Dragons and Blues and O's and Scarlets and you have two quality squads and then have another set up in the Valleys and one up north and use them more to develop young players and be realistic about the opportunities
the WRU are now doing all they can to push RGC 1404 into the Championship and then into the Premiership, they've handed them the facilities and the set up and the finance! There are teams that have been around for longer and are struggling but the WRU does nothing to help those!
