The final stretch of the Welsh rugby season has brought a mix of emotions, with several teams facing a make-or-break period in their pursuit of play-off spots. Speaking after his side's win over Dragons, Ospreys head coach Toby Booth said: 'It's been a tough season, but we've shown some real character and resilience.'
Ospreys secured a crucial 28-17 victory over Dragons, while Scarlets also picked up a vital win against Cardiff Blues. However, the weekend was marred by a number of injuries, including a potentially serious issue for Ospreys prop Rhys Fawcett.
Scarlets head coach Mike Pickett expressed his concern over the injuries sustained by his players, saying: 'We're getting to a stage where players are getting worn down, and it's a concern for us going forward.'
The weekend also saw several players bid farewell to their respective clubs, including Ospreys' departing captain, Justin Tipuric. Speaking to BBC Sport, Tipuric said: 'It's been an honour to play for this club, and I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had.'
