The Ospreys made a winning start to life at St Helen's, beating the Dragons 31-14 in a wet and windy Swansea.

5,592 fans braved the awful conditions to see the Ospreys' first match at their new venue, with Reuben Morgan-Williams crossing for two tries. Sam Parry and Ross Moriarty went over for the other scores on an enjoyable night for Mark Jones' side.

The Ospreys did play here once in 2020, but you'd have to go back 21 years since the famous ground was their permanent home.

Having travelled over 10,000 miles in the opening month of the season, Mark Jones' side will have been pleased to have somewhere to call home.

That much was apparent by their fast start, with the first try coming after six minutes.

After some concerted pressure near the Dragons' line, scrum-half Morgan-Williams burrowed over for the first score by an Ospreys player at their new ground.

Torrential rain and strong winds affected matters for much of the half, although the Dragons - playing into the wind - did have some moments of quality.

They should have levelled the scores soon after, only for Anzelo Tuitavuki to spill the ball with the tryline in sight.

That would prove costly, with Morgan-Williams crossing for a second on the half-hour mark after the Dragons failed to deal with Lalakai Foketi's kick through.

The Ospreys helped themselves to a third try, with co-captain Parry powering his way over for his 50th try for the club at the back of a maul.

It did appear that the Dragons would end the first-half scoreless, only for Wales wing Rio Dyer to cross with the final act of the opening 40.

Dyer wouldn't return after half-time, while Dragons captain and Wales second-row Ben Carter was forced off early in the second-half with a head injury.

The Ospreys started the second-half perfectly. After the Dragons fumbled the kick-off into touch, a powerful driving maul from the edge of the 22 brought a penalty try.

Dragons scrum-half Rhodri Williams was sent to the sin-bin as a result.

The Dragons didn't concede while down a man, but no sooner had he returned, were they down to 14 again.

Another huge maul saw Tinus de Beer yellow carded.

The Ospreys immediately took advantage. Going to the corner, their maul again powered over - with Moriarty, a name synonymous with St Helen's, the scorer.

Tuitavuki scored a consolation, before Wales call-up Aneurin Owen became the third Dragons player in the bin after a high tackle on Iestyn Hopkins.
