Reebok Regional Championship preview

A 45-8 victory over the Dragons last time out and a defeat for the Blues against the Scarlets has left the Ospreys on top of the pile with 15 points from four matches – two points clear of tonight’s opponents.

Victory this evening will take them at least five points clear with only one round of pool games remaining.

The other game sees the Scarlets at home to the Dragons who have yet to win a game. The Scarlets, who have 12 points from their four games to date, will be hoping for maximum points against a Dragons side who have picked up only one point so far this term.
