Ospreys returned to St Helen's in style, beating Dragons again to sweep the United Rugby Championship season series between the Welsh rivals.
Ospreys came home to St Helen's and made it count, beating Dragons to complete a derby double in the United Rugby Championship. The Welsh rivals had already met earlier in the campaign, and the result this time left no doubt about who owns the bragging rights.
The return to St Helen's added to the occasion. The Swansea ground has a long place in Welsh rugby history, and Ospreys turned the homecoming into a statement. For a side that wants to climb the URC table, taking maximum reward from a local rival is the kind of result that builds momentum.
For Dragons, it is a frustrating night in a fixture they will want to put right. Welsh derbies carry extra edge, and losing both meetings in a season stings. They will have to regroup quickly and find answers before the next round of league fixtures.
Ospreys now have a double over a direct neighbour and a homecoming win to build on. If they can carry this intensity into the rest of the URC schedule, they will be a tough proposition for anyone who visits.
