FT: Cardiff 29-33 Ospreys
Image source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyWell that's it from Cardiff City Stadium.
West proved best today as Scarlets and Ospreys triumphed over Dragons and Cardiff respectively.
Scarlets end the season with bragging rights, but for Ospreys it's a much bigger prize.
Their bonus-point win sees them scrape through to the United Rugby Championship play-offs in eighth place.
So as the other three Welsh regions wind down after an incredibly long season, Ospreys have one last push as they head to Munster for a quarter-final next weekend.
It was unlikely at the start of the day, but as we know in Welsh rugby, anything can happen.

Ospreys head coach Toby Booth told BBC Two Wales: "I'm delighted, this is a massive credit to the boys, the organisation and the team, we found a way today.
"I thought Cardiff had all the control in the first half, we couldn't get out. I think physically we then started to dominate, we know when we get towards that try line we can be dangerous and we were.
"It wasn't the prettiest game in the world, but we got the job done and that's all that matters.
"We need to enjoy this experience, when it gets to knockout rugby you just got to give it a shot don't you.
"We want to test ourselves against the best and Munster are the best."

"We knew how difficult the task was going to be today, Cardiff were fantastic.
"I'm so proud of the boys, we deserve this."
