?They may have been the best of friends with a common cause recently, but it won't be too long before the stars of Warren Gatland's Wales team become sworn enemies - at least on the field of play.
On 20 April Judgement Day returns with the four regions pitching up at the Millennium Stadium for two East versus West clashes in which RaboDirect Pro12 points will be at stake, as well as coveted bragging rights.
In March last year, the double-header event was held for the first time with more than 36,000 supporters showing their colours for a showcase that lived up to every inch of its billing. The success of the day naturally ensured it would not be the last time it happened and that this month's follow-up is being even more keenly anticipated.
This time around, the Blues will tackle the Scarlets before the Dragons face the Ospreys as the two teams from the East go in search of revenge and, as ever, the two derbies offer the potential for some explosive individual duels.
Looking ahead to Judgement Day, Taulupe Faletau said, "It'll be great to go up against Ospreys and it's really exciting for the players and the fans to be at the Millennium Stadium. With all four regions in one place, and the great support of our regional rugby followers, it's going to be a fantastic occasion and all the players will be looking forward to it."
Dragons season ticket holders should now have received their tickets, with corporate partners and hospitality customers’ tickets and passes to follow shortly.
For those supporters who have yet to purchase their tickets for this memorable event head to the Rodney Parade ticket office, or call 01633 674 990.
