Ospreys centre Keiran Williams scored two tries to help earn his side a 31-9 victory and condemn Scarlets to another derby defeat in Swansea.

Scarlets have not won at their Welsh rivals since October 2017 and they never looked likely to break that losing run as Ospreys’ pack was the dominant force in a static game.

The hosts scored four tries to nil with Morgan Morris and Dan Edwards also on the tryscoring sheet. Jack Walsh kicked three conversions and a penalty with Edwards adding a conversion.

      White responds to comment from Connacht coach

      Three penalties from Ioan Lloyd was Scarlets’ response, although it was the visitors who drew first blood at the Swansea.com Stadium.

      Ospreys were penalised at the first scrum, which enabled Lloyd to give his side a fourth-minute lead.

      However, Scarlets immediately bungled the restart and the hosts made them pay when Williams joined a line-out drive to force his way over.

      Walsh converted before Lloyd kicked his second penalty to leave Scarlets trailing 7-6 at the end of an evenly-contested first quarter.

      Ospreys then turned down a couple of kickable penalties in favour of more attacking options and were rewarded when Williams crashed over for his second try.

      A thumping tackle from Vaea Fifita on Max Nagy won Scarlets a penalty and once again Lloyd was on target but that score was quickly nullified with a first penalty success for Walsh.

      Ospreys led 17-9 at the interval and, 10 minutes after the restart, they extended that advantage when Morris finished off a succession of forward drives for the home side’s third try.

      Scarlets replaced internationals Gareth Davies and Wyn Jones in an attempt to reverse their fortunes but it proved fruitless in a disappointing afternoon that left them joint bottom of the United Rugby Championship table.

      Their replacement prop Steff Thomas was sin-binned in the 67th minute for repeated team offences and Ospreys took advantage to score their bonus-point try when creative play from Nagy gave debutant Edwards a run-in.

      Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

      I found myself stuck in a cycle that had no end to it,I knew I needed to break out of that matrix or watch all I have ever worked for go down the drain all for nothing . The setbacks & mountainous taxes I faced in the later stages of my investment while trying to withdraw my assets, I vividly recall experiencing none of that in the earlier rounds when I started investing.Despite being faced with these abrupt taxes which I willingly paid hoping that my withdrawal process will be approved.Withdrawing my trading gains turned from a walk in the park to nothing but a disappointing & frustrating experience filled with unending commission and denied withdrawals altogether.This could have gone on until I was bankrupt or worse homeless in the streets, it breaks my heart When I remember how lost & broken I felt upon discovering the investment company was fraudulent because I always thought I knew better & not the type to fall victim to such. Finding yourself in such situation and not knowing what to do or where to begin your search for a solution to get your invested asset out is an experience and a feeling that not just anyone understands,”it’s like a been there done that kind of situation”, drowning in your own pool of regrets & self blame while battling the thoughts of the possible loss of your whole investment . I Searched high & low and left no stone unturned in my quest for assistance,I faced countless disappointment from firms & institution I thought I could rely on, not to mention the discouragements from friends & family who wanted me to give up on my search and consider damage control, instead of trying to recover what I lost as it was clearly costing me more & taking it’s toll on my overall wellbeing, but of course I paid no attention to the negative comments.

      And it’s not until I tried and tried and tried again did my search lead me to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”. Valor Team handled my request & complaint with ease and ethics that I have never seen before in my life , after “VALOR TEAM’S” interception in my case my idea of possibilities heightened. My newly found awareness towards Investments & “Investment Frauds” gave me the push to share my experience in an attempt to help the next victim who is probably going through the same emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty and failed expectation from sources they trusted ,to search no further but head straight to a Renowned & Legit asset recovery company “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” , because this team in question worked round the clock to ensure my invested asset were pulled from the fraudulent investment company. It became clear to me after getting scammed that it’s no news anymore to loose money through an investment scam ,it has become a widespread problem that’s eating deep into the savings account of my fellow Americans and the world at large and it’s high time we fight fire with fire. Fighting Fraud, Fraud prevention, detection & Asset recovery works better when everyone that has ever come in contact with “Valor team” and can attest to the company’s authenticity(who ) also understands how this team works, to go Public make & it an obligation to educate your family, team, anyone & everyone within your reach (the next victim or the world in general) to use a trusted Asset Recovery Solution like “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”  to identify problems/foul play in any investment or business deal they wish to venture in to.

      Japan's proposed anti-diverse 'blood' eligibility law after foreign player influx

      “WR are saying you’re not Japanese until you’ve had 5 years there and JRFU are saying you can be after 30 tests”

      Yes I am aware of this. Most people will never play 30 tests, so for those that don’t the JRFU will define their nationality according to “blood”.


      “The Drua are identical to Moana.”

      And Fijian Drua are not the same as “Fiji”.


      “Of course you can. You just can’t make it represent a whole country ala South Africa. I’m sure theres hundres of Scottish or Irish rep teams all over.”

      Name literally one team that restricts selection to only white people. If any exist, I would say that that is bad, because I am not racist. But I don’t believe you’ll be able to name one.


      “At least you got one thing right, a person can call themselves white if they want, or Maori, and be involved in any such like minded group. Just don’t be like the KKK and make it a racial group 😋”

      Are you aware that ability to play for NZ Maori is determined according to racial heritage? And that the same will be true of players deemed “Japanese” under the new JRFU eligibility rules?


      “While I’m sure you realise you’re wrong about about the picture you tried to paint (and probably new before posting) in your OP”

      I’m not wrong. Racism is bad.


      “I don’t have faith that you were able to corelate the two examples”

      This doesn’t make sense. “Correlate” doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means. Its also not clear what examples you’re referring to; is it the JRFU and Moana? The JRFU and NZ Maori? The Maori and hypothetical whites only teams?


      “Happy to keep replying until you do, again”

      Again? When has this happened before?
