The Dragons scored on full time to get the win

Dragons replacement prop Luke Yendle scored a last-minute try to steal a famous victory against Ospreys in the United Rugby Championship (URC) opening day Welsh derby.

Ospreys led 21-13 with five minutes remaining before the hosts battled back with Yendle's try and a conversion from Lloyd Evans.

It completed a 13-point haul for Evans in his first competitive game since his arrival from Gloucester, while flanker Harrison Keddie also crossed.

Ospreys duo Keiran Williams and Ryan Conbeer scored tries while fly-half Dan Edwards added 11 points.

Ospreys will be kicking themselves for their wastefulness after dominating the second half as they suffered a third successive defeat at Rodney Parade.


 

Dragons head coach Dai Flanagan will be delighted with the resilience of his side as the hosts secured their first opening day win since 2013.


His opposite number Toby Booth will be distraught as he embarked on his fifth and final season as Ospreys head coach before leaving at the end of the campaign.

Mark Jones will step up from defence coach, a role which will be filled by Justin Tipuric when he retires at the end of the season.
