    If you're just joining us for Newport Gwent Dragons v Scarlets, you haven't missed much.

    If you're a Mexican wave fan, however, boy have you missed out on some quality entertainment..

    Just three penalties from that first half - two from Angus O’Brien, one from Dan Jones - and not a lot else!

    If the Cardiff Blues' demolition of the Ospreys was a firecracker of a game, the second is certainly a damp squib.

    The Dragons won't care - they're doing a fine job of shackling the Scarlets.

    But for the neutral, there is precious little to get excited about.

    You would find it hard to believe the Scarlets have something major to play for with their flat start.

    Remember, if they win they will go above the Ospreys to third place in the Pro12 table.

    A big blow for the Scarlets as flanker James Davies is forced off with what looked like a shoulder problem.

    Davies is a pivotal player in the Scarlets ranks.

    There's a gentle hum of noise around the Principality Stadium as the Dragons and Scarlets get to grips with today's second match.

    The game has yet to ignite and quite a few in the crowd are still returning to their seats after a few refreshments in between the two fixtures.

    It has the feel of a cricket match, that constant but relatively quiet murmer of thousands of fans chatting away.

    Scarlets are overwhelming favourites today, and it is the Llanelli-based region who have started strongest, with the likes of Wales centre Jonathan Davies making probing runs into the Dragons' 22.

    The Dragons have been forced into an early change as well, with prop Lloyd Fairbrother taken off injured to be replaced by Brok Harris.

    Ulster have lost 22-20 against Munster which means the Ospreys stay third at the moment but if the Scarlets defeat the Newport Gwent Dragons, the Scarlets will go third and the Ospreys drop to fourth.
