Gareth Davies gets Cardiff's first points of the game after Owens pins the home side for a ruck infringement on their own 22 m line
TRY OSPREYS. After 9 minutes of pressure ospreys have crossed for what was an inevitable try. Ashley Beck was crucial to the initial offensive break and was also the man to finally touch down. A poor defensive effort from Cardiff who continue to be split open by the ospreys back line. 7-0
Cardiff win a penalty off a dominant scrum and are able to clear the ball out of their own half for the first time.
Ospreys looking dangerous with ball in hand. The ball is spread wide just outside the cardiff 22m line and the home side continues to make ground before Aisea Natogo is bundled into touch
Ospreys applying some early pressure here. The ball is grubbered through the cardiff defensive line but Dan Fish is able to gather it over the line. 22m dropout to cardiff
Nobody claims the kick and it rolls into touch off an osprey's hand. LO cardiff but the ball is dropped and ospreys look to attack
Dan Biggar gets us underway!
Players enter the field. Wet conditions here in Swansea so expect the ball to be greasy
Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s live coverage of the Rabodirect Pro12 with Ospreys hosting Cardiff at the Liberty Stadium. Ospreys have won their last twelve contests with fellow Welsh regions in the PRO12 and have not lost at home to a Welsh opponent since Newport Gwent Dragons visited Liberty Stadium in October 2010. Cardiff Blues have secured only one victory in their last nine PRO12 fixtures: 21-13 at home to Dragons on New Year's Day. The Blues are one of three sides still without an away win in the PRO12 this season and have not been victorious on their travels since defeating Edinburgh at Murrayfield on 15th February 2013. The Blues last two wins away from home at a fellow Welsh Region in the PRO12 were both against Dragons, in 2010 and 2012. We are set for an interesting encounter here, stay tuned!
Happy to see otten get the chance he deserves, how does Marc thomas get into Swanseas team let alone the ospreys one of the worst scrummagers I've ever seen ospreys have the whole under 20s front row but play him instead wtf :/
