It was frustrating that Dragons lost yet again today away to Cardiff, but that performance was night & day to many that have gone before. To be in the fight right until the end, the boys deserve credit for how far they've come.

The fact that one of these four clubs is likely not to exist this time next year really is genuinely sickening. #SCAvOSP #CARvDRA
Feel like it might be a challenge to condense thoughts on that game down, but give us your #3WordThoughts as Cardiff beat the Dragons once again…

Cardiff 22-19 Dragons FT
A win based purely off grit, determination and good defence.
Still lots of question marks around our attack, decision making at penalties and error count though. Have to get a lot better to win on NYD.
#CARvDRA
2️⃣1️⃣ in a row.
#CARvDRA
The streak goes on! #CARvDRA
I didn't think Adams could be any more stupid than throwing a gender reveal party in lockdown, yet here we are #CARvDRA
Fuck it. Scrap Cardiff. They don't deserve to exist as a team after this. #CARvDRA
I simply cannot understand what the fuck Winnet and Adams were thinking there. Complete madness #CARvDRA
Might just repost this for the rest of the match, because butchering that try opportunity was unbelievable #CARvDRA
Cardiff doing a bomb squad? #CARvDRA
There's nothing more beautiful than a front rower taking flight down a rugby pitch 😍 #CARvDRA
Yesterday I forgot to put 50% of the nuts I had in my nut roast and then questioned why it wasn't nutty enough.
And yet that still isn't as stupid as some of this Cardiff play #CARvDRA
Cardiff 12-12 Dragons HT
Weird half. Not played well at all but managed to score twice and largely dominate possession and territory.
Looking really panicky in possession and transition, but defence is solid and doing alright in the air.
Just need to relax!

HT: Cardiff 12-12 Dragons.
Two Cardiff tries from Javan Sebastian and Alex Mann are sandwiched by a Che Hope brace, leaving the teams level. Quality hasn't been brilliant at times but Dragons are well in the contest.
Proper cold in the press box too! 🥶 #CARvDRA
Seeing Taulupe starting makes my heart very happy #CARvDRA
I don't feel positive about this match. Given everything else going on, I'd really like a Cardiff win today, please and thank you #CARvDRA
At the Arms Park for the East Wales derby between Cardiff and Dragons.
The visitors looking for a third win in a row in all competitions but haven’t beaten Cardiff in the #URC since Boxing Day 2014.
Kickoff at 3pm. #CARvDRA
20 IN A ROW (in the league) BABYYYYYY 🔵⚫️
#CARvDRA
Cardiff building some momentum by the end of the half but Dragons still with the 10 point lead. Angus O'Brien has been legitimately brilliant so far.
#CARvDRA
A try maybe not the worst outcome for Dragons there given that may well have been a yellow card for them otherwise. It's taken them half an hour but Cardiff finally managing to build some possession and territory.

Somehow, this is my 300th piece on The Openside Blog, a big thanks to anyone that has read any of my work!
But the attention now draws to an East Wales derby between the Dragons and Cardiff at Rodney Parade, any likes or shares would be greatly appreciated! #URC #CARvDRA
