Dragons supporters are certainly going to have a good night after their team treated them to a derby victory.
It was an engrossing encounter at Rodney Parade and Scarlets have to settle for a single bonus point after more than playing their part.
It’s been another tough start to the campaign for Nigel Davies’ men, who have now lost successive derbies to Cardiff and Dragons.
They are missing Fletcher Anderson and Taine Plumtree up front, with a reunion with Wayne Pivac looming when Benetton visit Llanelli in round three.
Dragons, meanwhile, have given themselves a launchpad.
Dragons scored six tries but still left plenty out there. They will fancy their chances of backing up this victory and extending their unbeaten start to the campaign when they host Ospreys on Friday.
This first block of the URC can set the tone and Filo Tiatia’s men have a kind fixture list with five games in Wales.
Rodney Parade was bouncing in the Saturday afternoon sunshine and it will be raucous under Friday night lights.
We’ll be providing coverage of Dragons versus Ospreys, so hopefully you can join us for that.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
