Cardiff Blues claimed their sixth consecutive league victory over the Dragons in a PRO14 Boxing Day derby which grew to a thrilling finale. But the Dragons, whose only points up to the 64th minute had come from a penalty via stand-off Gavin Henson, staged a fightback in the closing moments. Replacement prop Lloyd Fairbrother grabbed a try which Henson converted before the home side were awarded a penalty try and conversion. The home side were desperate for points in order to get back into the game but a 38-metre penalty from Henson went wide. With six minutes left Elliott Dee was at the back of a long rolling maul which ended with Myhill collapsing the drive and referee Andrew Brace awarding a penalty try under the posts.
