Strong attack early on from Cardiff off their line out. An unfortunate knock halts the attack though. First scrum of the afternoon goes the Dragons' way.

Early penalty for Cardiff. Lewis Evans pinged for holding on to the ball on the ground.

Poor weather conditions here at the Cardiff Arms Park, very heavy rainfall.

Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of today's Stephens Day Pro 12 Welsh derby as Cardiff Blue welcome Newport Gwent Dragons to Cardiff Arms Park. Cardiff find themselves in 9th place after a mix of results, winning 2 of their last 4 games in the competition, while the Dragons lie just below the Blues in 10th after winning only one of their last 4 games. Both sides will be looking to push ahead as we move away from Christmas and head into the new year. Stay tuned for live updates throughout as we await kick off.
