    Rhys Thomas crashes over for the Welsh side but Tom Prydie misses the conversion. Surely that seals it for Dragons?

    That Kenwyne Jones goal record makes for good reading for Cardiff fans...

  3. We're under way...published at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    The second half has kicked off at Treviso as well, with Ospreys aiming to overhaul a four-point deficit from the first half.

    Steve Tandy's men are already out of the Champions Cup, but they'll be desperate to end their campaign on a high after their defeat to Northampton last weekend.

  4. We're under way...published at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    The second half is under way at Cardiff City Stadium, with Cardiff aiming to secure their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

  5. Nervy Dragons?published at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    The quality of the Stade line-up suggests they should be closer to the Dragons than they are. Is this the start of a comeback?

    Terrible decision-making from the Ospreys and Martin Roberts.

    We worried about complacency as the clock struck 40 minutes, and Treviso give Ospreys a big psychological blow just before half time.

    If Gruff Rees was shaking his head before, he will be shaking it now.

    That was calamitous from the Ospreys - needlessly giving Treviso the lead.

  7. TRY!published at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Stade hooker Zurabi Zhvania crashes over from a driving line out for the French side, but Morne Steyn misses the conversion.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Treviso's second try is an excellent move, backs and forwards running in tandem and offloading to devastating effect.

    Flanker Barbini is the man to finish the move and, despite the missed conversion, Treviso lead 16-12.

    That's the last play of the first half. Ospreys have a battle on their hands.

    I haven't seen a Reading side as inept as this for a long, long time.

    The only quality we've seen is from Kenwyne Jones, and you would have to say it was a wonderful header.

    He has had a great game.

    With John Brayford's sale to Sheffield United confirmed, we are asking what you think about the former Cardiff full-back...

    Tim Bushell: Think it's brilliant business getting back what we paid for him, he's been massively disappointing.

    Martin Warren: Why do we keep selling our best players?

    Phil Hyndman: Brayford has been a disappointment. Fabio is a better player. Average player now in the third tier football where he belongs.

    Let's just say it's a divided opinion. What do you think - was Brayford a good sale? Join us at #BBCSportWales

    When the Scarlets played against the Ospreys they caused a lot of problems, with Samson Lee causing problems.

    The referee is trying to settle both packs down now, let's hope we can get into a bit more of a free-flowing game.

    We've only seen a few glimpses of attractive rugby, with both sides trying to find their feet.

  12. TRY (Eli Walker)published at 15:59 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Ospreys wing Eli Walker touches down in the corner after a fine break by fly-half Sam Davies, who misses his conversion.

    There was some doubt over the try - the referee and TMO were locked in a long discussion as it seemed Ospreys were guilty of blocking - but it has been given and Ospreys are back in front.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    An uninspiring half at Cardiff City Stadium, where Kenwyne Jones' header is the difference between the sides.

    Cardiff have not created much in the way of clear scoring opportunities but, with the towering Jones and Alex Revell up front, they certainly possess a physical attacking threat.

    There's not much of a crowd to cheer on the Bluebirds, but those hardy souls who have made the trip to Cardiff City Stadium will at least be content to see their team leading after seeing them lose their last two games.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Justin Edinburgh's men have it all to do at Sixfields after goals from Ryan Cresswell and John-Joe O'Toole

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    It's all square in the third round of the FA Trophy, with Andy Bishop drawing Wrexham level after Adam Campbell had given Gateshead the lead.

  16. TRY (Angelo Esposito)published at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    A nicely worked try from the hosts, as Angelo Esposito goes over in the corner to put Treviso in front.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Tom Prydie has struck his fourth and fifth penalties for the Welsh side as they hold a comfortable half-time lead.

  18. FULL-TIMEpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    It's an impressive bonus-point win for Cardiff Blues away against Grenoble.

    The Welsh side finish second behind London Irish in European Challenge Cup Pool One.

    That means the Blues will be away in the quarter-finals.

    I think since the goal Cardiff have settled down.

    I want to see more from the four midfield players, especially Gunnarsson who has slipped out of the game.

    I like Whittingham who has been technically sound, but you still want to see more from your midfield.

  20. TRY (Josh Navidi)published at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 24 January 2015

    Cardiff Blues have the bonus point in the bag as back-rower Josh Navidi crosses for their fourth try.

    Replacement Gareth Davies converts to extend the Blues' lead, but London Irish's bonus point against Rovigo means the Welsh side cannot top their group in order to secure a home quarter-final in the Challenge Cup.
