In the festive spirit of rugby, the Welsh derbies on Boxing Day brought excitement to fans. Cardiff Rugby achieved a dominant victory over the Dragons, leading 45-7 at halftime and maintaining a staggering 70% possession. The second derby ended in a win for the Ospreys against the Scarlets, with a score of 11-25, after a goalless first half. The Dragons made seven changes to their starting lineup, with Dyer and Wainwright returning to the field, and Dan Lydiate and Leon Brown back in action. Ollie Hughes captained the side. These matches were part of the United Rugby Championship (URC), with live coverage available for rugby enthusiasts.
