Match Information for Ospreys game

03/01/2020

Dragons take on Ospreys at Rodney Parade in our first Welsh derby of 2020 this Saturday (kick-off 3pm) as the Men of Gwent look to record a fifth successive home win against Welsh rivals - a run that began with defeating the Ospreys in December 2018.

Dragons edged the Guinness PRO14 encounter against the Ospreys just over a year ago at Rodney Parade in a nail-biting contest, with Jared Rosser and Elliot Dee claiming tries for the home side.

Both players have been selected in the starting line-up by Dean Ryan, who also welcomes back Leon Brown, Joe Davies, Tyler Morgan and Tom Griffiths.

  • Ospreys are without a win since beating Benetton 24-20 at Liberty Stadium on 12 October.
  • Ospreys have lost all six away games they have played in all tournaments this season.
