And referee Rhys Thomas sounds his whistle bringing this thrilling and high-scoring 80 minutes of play to a close. Despite a hugely impressive surge from the Ospreys in the closing half hour of the game, it was a case of too little too late for the hosts, as Dragons' dominance in the first half proved too much.
But that marks an end to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this epic encounter, hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
