Adam Warren’s late try sealed a remarkable 25-18 Guinness PRO14 derby win over Ospreys at Rodney Parade. Dean Ryan’s team led 10-8 at half-time after prop Leon Brown responded to a try by his Wales teammate George North.

The Ospreys got their noses in front through young centre Tiaan Thomas-Wheeler early in the second half – and looked set to win for the first time since October. However, wing Rio Dyer crossed in the 76th minute and was swiftly followed over by replacement centre Warren to claim victory for the hosts.

The Dragons had the first chance to get on the scoreboard but fly-half Sam Davies wasted a chance to put the boot into his old side when he struck the right post with an eighth-minute penalty in front of the posts. They were made to pay when Ospreys struck after 19 minutes through wing North, on his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury in Wales’ World Cup semi-final loss to South Africa.

The visitors broke away into the 22 and centre Scott Williams calmly found his unmarked Test teammate with a clever kick to the right. Luke Price missed the conversion but then traded penalties with Davies to make it 8-3 after 26 minutes.

However, the Dragons went into half-time with a 10-8 lead thanks to a stunning score by Wales tighthead Brown. He was put clear by an inside pass by hooker Elliot Dee and showed terrific speed to race over from 30 metres for a try than Davies converted for 10-8.

The Dragons turned their two-point lead into a five-point advantage through Davies four minutes into the second half only to allow Price to respond with a penalty straight from the restart.

The west Walians regained the lead when centre Thomas-Wheeler danced under the posts after the forwards had hammered at the line, the conversion making it 18-13, and number eight Morgan Morris was held up over the line as the pressure continued from the visitors.

Price missed a tricky chance to put the Ospreys a score clear from the tee and that proved vital when it was level-pegging after 76 minutes. The Dragons hammered at the line before it was flung wide for Sam Davies to find Dyer with a kick, the winger finishing superbly.

It got better for the hosts with a pair of hacked on kicks allowing centre Warren to win the race and steal the spoils.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
