Well, for the Cardiff Blues we're talking about pride. They are the bottom-placed of the four Welsh regions in the Pro12.

Ospreys could go second in the table with a bonus-point win today - depending what happens between Conncht and Glasgow - and any type of victory would clinch their place in the end-of-season play-offs after Leinster's defeat by leaders Ulster on Friday night.

Victory would also secure their place in next season's European Champions' Cup.

The final destination of the Pro12 title will not be decided and don't expect four horsemen to come galloping out of the tunnel at the end of the second game, but Judgement Day will be the biggest domestic rugby event in Wales this season by some margin.

Wales' head coach Warren Gatland has said this is a chance for players to impress ahead of the announcement in early June of his preliminary squad for the 2015 World Cup.

And Gatland has returned from his home in New Zealand to be at the Millennium Stadium to watch the action unfold.

No pressure, then lads?

It's not often regional fixtures generate the buzz of an international matchday, but there is a palpable sense of excitement in Cardiff this afternoon.

After Judgement Day's first two instalments attracted crowds of 36,000 and 30,000, ticket sales for this year's event have soared past the 50,000 mark.

Scores of fans from all four regions have been milling around the Millennium Stadium since this morning, with a few hundred queuing as they wait for the gates to open, such is the anticipation here.

Today we're teaming up with BBC Scrum V to ask you a question, and it's a simple one: What are you doing on Judgement Day?

Are you already fighting to get inside the Millennium Stadium? Will you be watching the rugby at home on BBC Two Wales and S4C? Or do you intend to spend half of your day stuck in traffic on the A470, listening to the coverage as it unfolds on BBC Radio Wales?

Whatever you're up to, we want to know. Get involved on Twitter using #ScrumV, or email us on scrumv@bbc.co.uk - but, as always, remember to include your name and location. Diolch!

There is plenty of sport going on today. Make your Saturday great by watching and listening to some of these:

Blues v Ospreys, BBC Two Wales, 14:30 BST: The first of our Judgement Day double-header. Ross Harries presents coverage of the action, with former Wales internationals Jonathan Davies and Martyn Williams in the studio.

Dragons v Scarlets, S4C, 16:45 BST: The second part of Judgement Day comes courtesy of Clwb Rygbi (they would call it Dreigiau v Scarlets) - and you can watch with English commentary via the red button, but why would you want to do that?

Newcastle v Swansea, Radio Wales, 15:00 BST (FM/DAB Swansea area only): Full match commentary from Simon Davies and Kevin Ratcliffe as Swansea chase their highest-ever league points tally.

Cardiff v Blackpool, Radio Wales, 15:00 BST (FM/DAB outside Swansea): Full match commentary from Rob Phillips and Ian Walsh.

Telford v Wrexham, Radio Wales, 17:15 BST (FM/DAB North Wales): Full match commentary from Mark Poyser and Mickey Thomas.

So only one or two games, then.

Good afternoon and welcome to an afternoon of Welsh rugby derby action at the Millennium Stadium.

It's Cardiff Blues versus the Ospreys followed by Newport Gwent Dragons against Scarlets with Pro12 points and local bragging rights up for grabs.

And contrary to popular rumour and reports, interest in the Welsh domestic game is not dead.

Far from it. More than 50,000 tickets have been sold for today's showcase under the closed roof of the Millennium Stadium.

For once the coaches had no say in whether the matches would be played under the Cardiff skies - the fans voted to close the roof - always a safe bet during April in Wales when a shower will usually be along in a minute.

Typically, however, the sun has come out in the Welsh capital.

Let's hope it's a good omen.
