Welsh rugby's Judgement Day returns after three years as details announced

Welsh rugby's Judgement Day will return this season after three years away.

The double-header will take place at the Principality Stadium on Saturday 22 April, with Dragons taking on the Scarlets before the Ospreys face Cardiff in the final weekend of the United Rugby Championship.

Dragons v Scarlets kick-off is at 3pm, before Ospreys v Cardiff starts at 5.15pm. All Season Ticket holders will get access to tickets on November 14, with tickets available for public sale from December 14. Adult tickets are available from £25 while U16 concessions start at £10 and over-65 concessions begin at £15.

Season ticket holders for the 'home' teams this year - Ospreys and Dragons RFC - will receive their ticket free of charge as part of their season ticket package but have the option to purchase additional tickets for friends and family.

Speaking about the return of Judgement Day after three years away, Cardiff director of rugby, Dai Young, said: “Judgement Day is always a key date in the Welsh rugby calendar but something I have never been involved in, so on a personal level it is a game I am really looking forward to.

“There is not a lot between the four Welsh clubs, we are all capable of beating each other and that makes for an exciting day, especially when you add into the mix the Welsh Shield, European qualification and the fact it is the last day of the regular season.

“Hopefully there will be a big crowd in attendance as the event returns for the first-time post Covid-19 and they will be treated to a great day of rugby.”

Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel added that the addition of Judgement Day promised to be an "exciting finish" to the season, with the Scarlets and Ospreys having battled it out for the Welsh Shield and European qualification on the final weekend last year.

“It’s fantastic that Judgement Day is back as part of Welsh rugby’s calendar," he said. "We had a couple of high-scoring matches against the Dragons last season and with so many familiar faces in their group, it is a game we are all looking forward to.”

“The Principality Stadium is an amazing venue and for a number of our players it will be the first time they will have played there. It promises to be a wonderful occasion and an exciting finish to the regular URC season.”

Dragons head coach, Dai Flanagan, said: “It’s great news that Judgement Day is returning to the capital. It’s a special day out for rugby fans across Wales and gives the regular season a fantastic final round for us all to look forward to.

“The opportunity to play at Principality Stadium is a special occasion for any rugby player and we are looking forward to facing Scarlets and our fans having a memorable day of rugby to enjoy in Cardiff.”
