GO for it -- Newport Gwent Dragons will be flat out for one last fling and a maximum five points in their final match of a dramatic season against Leinster at Lansdowne Road on Friday night in the hope that will be enough to give them the Celtic League title.

The weekend results, with leaders Llanelli Scarlets, second placed Ulster and third placed Dragons all winning meant the situation at the top remained unchanged, but only the Dragons earned a bonus point.

Llanelli failed to secure a maximum against Neath Swansea Ospreys, and would have been held to a draw had an injury time penalty shot by Gavin Henson not controversially been ruled out, while Ulster also failed to manage five points against Leinster.

It all means the Scarlets stay on top, but only by a point over Ulster and the Dragons, with Ulster shading second because of their superior points difference and bonus points.

But the Dragons can still win the title in three ways:

l If the Scarlets and Ulster draw their Friday night showdown at Stradey Park and the Dragons simply win in Dublin.

l If Ulster win without a bonus point and the Dragons beat Leinster with a bonus point.

l If Llanelli win without a bonus point and the Dragons beat Leinster with a bonus and by at least 50 points, though that is the least realistic possibility.

Whatever the outcome at Stradey the Dragons know they have to go for broke one last time and secure a bonus point victory as a draw between the Scarlets and Ulster is pretty unlikely given that there have been only three in the league all season.

The Dragons could well do it, for they are in a rich vein of form at the moment having won their last five games, gaining bonus points in their last three against Cardiff Blues, Connacht and Borders.

If Henson hadn't narrowly missed that last kick to draw the match at St Helen's yesterday, the Dragons would even be favourites for the title.

But they can still win it and coach Mike Ruddock will urge his side to go for broke in his final match in charge against a Leinster team he used to coach.

The two matches will now kick off at the same time - 7.35pm on Friday - to avoid either side having an advantage, the match at Stradey being put back by 35 minutes, and both shown live on TV.

But that will not be the case with the two Welsh teams still fighting for Heineken Cup qualification, which is just as tight as the battle at the top.

Cardiff Blues, who trail the Ospreys by four points, face Edinburgh at home on Thursday night, a day before the Ospreys travel to Glasgow.

If the Blues beat Edinburgh, who have secured Heineken Cup qualification, with a bonus point and the Ospreys lose in Glasgow, who are still chasing Heineken qualification, they will qualify ahead of their rivals.
