Ospreys thump Dragons on return to St Helen’s

Ospreys marked their return to Swansea’s St Helen’s with a bonus-point win over Dragons, scoring five tries in difficult weather. The victory mattered both as a strong result in the Welsh derby and as a morale boost for a region fighting for its future.

Reuben Morgan-Williams scored twice, with Sam Parry, a penalty try and Ross Moriarty also crossing; Ospreys led 19-7 at half-time. A crowd of 5,592 watched the first regional match at St Helen’s since 2005, while Dragons’ evening was compounded by three sin-binnings and injuries to Rio Dyer and Ben Carter.
