The teams are out on the pitch ahead of kick-off

Happy New Years and welcome to our coverage of this Welsh derby clash between the Dragons and Cardiff from Rodney Parade. Much will be expected of this derby where 9th plays 10th respectively. Both sides will be desperate to win on this the first day of 2015. An opportunity for both teams to put their poor form of 2014 behind them and no doubt it will be a battle of the back rows. Cardiff have Welsh captain Sam Warbuton back in the squad and a certainly strong squad for this game. Faletau will be pivotal for the hosts if they are to get one over their Welsh rivals. Kick-off is just moments away. Stay with us for live coverage throughout!
