Dragons 7-24 Cardiff
Props Sebastian and Martinez have a little go at each other after a scrum collapses.
Scotland v Argentina in Newport!
And they both get a ticking off from an Italian referee.

Jamie Roberts Former Wales international on S4C
The timing [of what Lyn Jones said] was disrespectful.
Everyone, players, ex-players, coaches, supporters more than anyone have their
opinion on what’s going to happen to rugby in Wales during the next month and
next few years, and he has his opinion.
Tonight’s about celebrating Welsh
rugby. We’ve got a good crowd and it (the derby) is something
very special so it’s not the day for discussing that kind of thing.

HT: Dragons 7-17 Cardiff
Wales head coach Steve Tandy is here in the Rodney Parade crowd as he runs the rule over potential selections for his first squad announcement next week.
Could outsiders such as Dragons flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes or Cardiff wing Tom Bowen be among those called up?

Andrew Coombs Former Wales lock on S4C
It’s disappointing isn’t it. Somebody with Lyn's experience
knows the importance of derbies. He knows how important it is for regional
players and coaches to focus just on the game.
There’s enough going on off the
pitch in Welsh rugby at the moment, Lyn didn’t have to say that before this
game.
We need some
excitement in Wales at the moment. The crowd is out in force, they’re loud and I like what I
see.
I'd love to see Dragons win and keep Lyn
Jones quiet.
