    But will Gareth Anscombe's conversion after Cardiff Blues' first try prove to be a post-match talking point?

    Cardiff Blues outside-half Gareth Anscombe attempts a long-range penalty from just inside the Ospreys half but pulled it wide despite having the distance.

    Blues are definitely looking on top as things stand.

    Cardiff Blues 14-3 Ospreys

    Cardiff Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams has been left on the sidelines for Wales this season but has reminded us of his talents with the Blues' second try of the afternoon.

    Gareth Anscombe converts once again. No controversy about this one.

  5. Penalty (Sam Davies)published at 17 mins

    Cardiff Blues 7-3 Ospreys

    Ospreys bounce back with a penalty from Sam Davies. Some confusion over whether earlier Gareth Anscombe conversion kick should have stood. But it counts at the moment!

  6. Cardiff Blues 7-0 Ospreyspublished at 16 mins

    Now it is the Cardiff Blues turn to throw the ball into touch when Matthew Morgan’s pass to Rhun Williams ends up on the sideline after a good tackle from Keelan Giles.

  7. Cardiff Blues 7-0 Ospreyspublished at 13 mins

    A breathless bit of play! Cardiff Blues centre Rey Lee-Lo breaks before Ospreys Fiji centre Josh Matavesi later intercepts.

    He didn’t have the pace but also didn’t realise Keelan Giles was outside and then comically passes the ball into touch.

    There are a mix of families, ardent regional fans in rugby shirts and some event goers in the stands.

  10. Cardiff Blues 7-0 Ospreyspublished at 5 mins

    Cardiff Blues draw the first blood as Kristian Dacey takes the ball from a line-out and does well to touch down in the corner of the pitch.

    Gareth Anscombe takes the conversion that follows and, although it looks good after the kick, the ball hits the right-hand post and television replays show it may not have gone over but the extras are given.

    Game on!

    It's a bit strange having the roof closed with the sun shining outside - a bit like going to the cinema during the summer.

    The main difference is that there are flame-throwers here. And 30 big blokes running into each other. Other than that, just like being in the cinema.

    So then, who's going to come out on top today?

    Arguably there's more resting on today's opener for Ospreys with Ulster and Scarlets breathing down their neck. But are they going to win or will Danny Wilson's Blues reign victorious today?

    Of course it's not just regional pride at stake. There's still the matter of finishing places in the Pro12 that today's fixtures can help decide come the end of the season.

    But just what can happen today and who's got the most to gain or lose? We went through the possibilities.

    The atmosphere has been building nicely outside the Principality Stadium, with fans of all four regions enjoying the sunshine and the local bars.

    There's an interesting vibe inside the ground too. As there are four teams playing as opposed to two, there are players and coaches dotted all over the place.

    The Ospreys are here and, despite being injured, so is their usual captain Alun Wyn Jones.

    The Wales lock will be his region's water carrier today. Service with a snarl.

    No pressure, guys. Four days until the British and Irish Lions squad announcement and what better way to stake your claim for a place in Warren Gatland's plans?

    Robin McBryde says Judgement Day gives players a 'stage to be measured' for this summer's tour of New Zealand.
