The Ospreys have secured a place in the United Rugby Championship (URC) play-offs after a dramatic Judgement Day final. They achieved a 33-29 bonus point victory over Cardiff, which was crucial for their qualification. This win was necessary due to the Lions earning just one point in their 29-24 loss to the Stormers and Edinburgh failing to gain any points in their 31-6 defeat by Benetton in Treviso. The Ospreys needed a four-try bonus point win to progress, and they delivered with two tries in the first half and ultimately securing the needed victory. This marks the first time a Welsh team has reached the URC play-offs since the Scarlets in 2018. The Ospreys, led by Toby Booth, will face table topping Munster in the quarter-finals next weekend.
