Ospreys are Wales' most buoyant side after three consecutive wins, including a United Rugby Championship (URC) double over the Dragons at a windswept St Helen's. The 5,592-strong crowd witnessed a 'proper Ospreys performance' in challenging conditions, with head coach Mark Jones praising the team's high-quality skill and defensive work. The return to their redeveloped home ground on 24 October marked a significant milestone, with Keelan Giles noting the exceptional atmosphere and class of the facility.
Reuben Morgan-Williams, who came off the Wales bench against South Africa and Barbarians last season, signed off with a double against the Dragons. The 28-year-old scrum-half, in pole position to be Tomos Williams' deputy for the Nations Championship, has earned his opportunity through consistent performances. Jones described Morgan-Williams as 'an Ospreys through and through' and highlighted his honesty and desire to improve.
Meanwhile, Scarlets showed signs of improvement despite losing a thriller to Stormers, while Cardiff were overpowered by Sharks at the Arms Park. Ospreys face Cardiff in their next fixture, where a win would strengthen their position ahead of the international break.
