  1. Wales hopefuls out to impress - Cardiffpublished at 17:27 1 June

    The younger brother of Wales and Swansea City defender Ben, Theo Cabango could yet become an international himself.

    Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt has already compared him to the Arms Park's version of Rio Dyer, who has proved size does not matter at Test level when you have gas to burn.

    The 22-year-old has been limited to seven games this season, due to shoulder surgery, though scored three tries in those appearances.

    "He's still got bits to work on, but he's got things you can't coach," said Sherratt.

    "He's electric, he's got great feet and he's actually very powerful as well.

    "He's someone who, every time he touches the ball, you can't take your eyes off him because he can score from 50 metres."

    Could this also be the summer for full-back Jacob Beetham, who can also feature in the centre?

    Beetham was called in to train with Wales during the Six Nations and could be the latest young Cardiff product to graduate to the Wales team.

    "Jacob is possibly a bit more of a long-term project but he has all the physical attributes to go," said Sherratt.

    "He is Scottish-qualified but I think his heart is wanting to play for Wales and that is the important thing.”

    Centre Ben Thomas, who started at fly-half in the latest victory against Sharks, has also had an impressive season.

    Hooker Evan Lloyd will be out to impress against Wales co-captain Dewi Lake.

  2. Team news - Thomas to lead changed Cardiff sidepublished at 17:22 1 June

    Ben Thomas leads a Cardiff side which has six changes from their bonus-point victory over the Sharks in Durban two weeks ago.

    Three of those come in the pack with a new front row of Rhys Carre, Evan Lloyd and Keiron Assiratti.

    Carre makes his final appearance before moving to Saracens this summer.

    Another departing player, Shane Lewis-Hughes, starts alongside Rory Thornton at lock, with Ben Donnell and James Botham joining Alun Lawrence in the back row.

    Tinus de Beer returns at fly-half with Thomas moving back to 12 in place of Willis Halaholo.

    Josh Adams is ruled out through injury, so Theo Cabango forms a back three with Mason Grady and Cameron Winnett.

    Cardiff: Cameron Winnett; Theo Cabango, Rey Lee-Lo, Ben Thomas (capt), Mason Grady; Tinus de Beer, Ellis Bevan; Rhys Carre, Evan Lloyd, Keiron Assiratti, Shane Lewis-Hughes, Rory Thornton, Ben Donnell, James Botham, Alun Lawrence.

    Replacements: Efan Daniel, Corey Domachowski, Rhys Litterick, Seb Davies, Lopeti Timani, Willis Halaholo, Jacob Beetham, Gabriel Hamer-Webb

    Cardiff v Ospreys (17:30 BST)

    If Ospreys beat Cardiff with a bonus point they will pip South African side Lions to eighth position and the last play-off place.

    Ospreys and Lions can finish level on 50 points but the Welsh team will go above them on matches won - rather than points difference.

    Remarkably Edinburgh will miss out despite winning 11 of their 18 games.

    Ospreys have everything to play for, a bonus-point win would secure their place in the United Rugby Championship play-offs, while Cardiff would love to spoil the party.

    FT: Scarlets 32-15 Dragons

    Scarlets' man of the match Alex Craig told S4C: "We wanted to finish well, it's been a tough season for us, but to finish like that is exactly what we wanted.

    "There's a great bunch of boys here, they work hard all year, maybe results-wise we haven't got what we deserved, but like I say a great bunch and I enjoy playing with them every week."

    It was a game that showed where the two teams have been this year.

    Dwayne Peel will be very happy to finish the season with a bonus point win, they had one over Zebre as well, that's something for him to work off.

    The Dragons have got a lot of work to do with a lot of new signings and backroom staff coming in as well.

  11. Man of the Match: Alex Craig (Scarlets)published at 79 mins

    Scarlets 32-15 Dragons

    He has been an immense signing for the Scarlets this season.

    He has pretty much led the entire URC for tackles the entire season and has put in yet another huge shift today.

    He must have broken the record for man of the match awards for a second row!

    Dragons are still going. You can't fault their effort and energy in this final quarter.

  13. Postpublished at 77 mins

    Scarlets 32-15 Dragons

    Dragons are battering away but yet again they cannot get through.

    Dan Davis comes up with another big turnover and deserves all those hugs from his teammates.

    I think he's [Warren Gatland] pretty sure who he's gonna take [on the summer tour].

    I don't think anyone so far has really jumped up to change his mind.

    I've liked the look of Taine Plumtree in this second half. He's really come into the game and dominated the lineout both on his own throw and defensively where he has taken that Vaea Fifita role.

  16. Penalty: Scarlets 32-15 Dragonspublished at 73 mins

    Sam Costelow

    Johnny Williams carries hard and wins a penalty.

    This time Costelow is far more convincing with his kick.

    I suspect those three points end an faint hope Dragons may have held onto about a comeback.

    Scarlets 29-15 Dragons

    This game really has an end of season feel about it now.

    Sun is out, the replacements benches are empty and there are a lot of tired bodies out there after a long and tough season for both sides.

    But there are definitely tries to come in this last ten.

  18. Converted try: Scarlets 29-15 Dragonspublished at 68 mins

    Sio Tomkinson try, Will Reed con

    Tomkinson grabs a second and Dragons have a second.

    Real pressure coming through the Dragons scrum, Taine Basham reaches in, sends the attack down the blindside where Will Reed hands the wing another easy finish.

    This is quite a parting shot for Tomkinson... but too late to save this game.

    Reed does well to nail the conversion from the touchline.

    Dragons were pounding the pressure but the Scarlets were really up to it.

    Dragons are really struggling to punch over that gainline and put the Scarlets on the backfoot enough to get them to miss tackles

    It's very good defence by the Scarlets, Dragons just need that bit of punch.

  20. Replacementspublished at 65 mins

    Scarlets 29-8 Dragons

    Tomi Lewis has had a wonderful day with two tries but unfortunately he is being helped off by two club physios before getting the chance to get a hat-trick.

    Lloyd is on in a reshuffled back line.

    Shaun Evans replaces Ryan Elias and Dragons scrum-half Che Hope is also on.
