Cardiff Rugby v Ospreys | Highlights | Round 9 | URC 2024/25

What a day we've got on today. 12,000 plus here at the Arms Park. It's a Derby New Year's Day. Conditions are now near perfect. Bit of rain to start with. Just hope that reflects in the quality of rugby we'll see today. So definitely, we talked about it being a work on in the week. Definitely a few tricks up Cardiff's sleeves today. Teddy Williams the recipient that time. And now this mall looks powerful as it edges towards the line. The Ospreys can do nothing to contain this surely. They've sacked one. Just needs one extra shunt from Cardiff. Cries of keep going from the pack. And that's a try. The first try of the afternoon comes after six minutes. The accuracy isn't quite there but both teams trying to be really physical. Ben Thomas, but he's gone too early. He's bitten in and Kieran Williams inside to Reuben Morgan. Williams, has he got the leg? Yes, he has. And the score finally comes for the Ospreys. I'm going to show you a knock-on by 15 white at the last rack. A clear knock-on by 15. He's in possession there. And as he goes to present, he loses the control he never regarded. So it's going to be a no-try mid and it's going to be a knock-on. After all that pressure. And after what was a sensational finish. Croc roll and the ball spills. So Cardiff do have an opportunity now to counter-attack. Ellis Bevan on the wing. But that is a massive contact from Nagy. Dan Thomas here. Oh yeah. Number five. Five. Well, this is significant. They'll be very happy now. Halftime, I think the Ospreys. Well, there is the Ospreys holdout for the Ospreys. An intriguing second half awaits. Can Cardiff, will Cardiff capitalise on this one-man advantage? One-arm take from Justin Tipperick. Very top of his range. Josh McNally on for Cardiff now, doing his best to disrupt that. The yellow card now, Ross. Another warning had come. Domichowski has barely been on the field, but he's already conceded a penalty for collapsing that wall. It's another free hit for the Ospreys as Dan Edwards sees a gap. Goes through the gap. And like a little magician. Everything was in their favour. But it's the Ospreys who struck first in this second half. And Cardiff. Are themselves the man down at the moment. See if they can stall the Ospreys' momentum with a score here. And it's looking increasingly likely as this ball thunders towards the line. And there, underneath it all, is the delighted face of young Evan Lloyd. So a free kick at the last scrum becomes a penalty at this one. And there is a yellow card in Ben Brace. Breaks his hand. It's a good strike. Leaning through the posts. And it's Cardiff crowd. Sniffing blood here. It's Cardiff in the ascendancy. Penalty straight back. I think that Sam Parry there has been penalised. Not rolling away. Missed his two attempts on goal so far today. He's handed over kicking duties to his captain, Ben Thomas. I think Ben Thomas might adjust. And they are not ready to settle for a draw. Not yet anyway. Here we go. Now Louis Hennessy. Gets a touch. But it's in a sliver of space. He's bundled into touch. And Ben Brakesphere who's had a very busy afternoon.
