Are the WRU looking to go to two regions, one in Swansea one in Cardiff. Scarlets seem to think it is on the cards as local politicians are objecting to St Helens development, although they have a new sponsorship deal.

I believe the WOL story is a bit of bullsh1tting.

I've now been told that the House of Luxury 55% holding - will only come into effect - IF the Scarlets are 1 of the 2 teams selected - not before.


Not like WoL to bullshit.

Then there is also this. It seems the URC have been tipped off?

This sounds like the death knell of Welsh regional/ club rugby, also what will be the point of redeveloping St Helens and Scarlets investors might well walk away

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

The only way all four would agree to two is if grounds were shared and new entities were created. Can't see that happening. Three would lead to one club taking legal action. I think the best option will be four teams unequal funding and Cardiff Golden Blues obviously being the number one choice with those scabby Scarlets being the second choice. The Ospreys who are the only attempt at a region and by far the most successful over the last twenty years being underfunded. Along with those giants from Gwent. What a shite show!

Am I right in thinking that the Ospreys are the only ones who haven’t had a bail out? I’m discounting Covid period as all the regions were helped then.
The WRU will do what they want….they never had any sort of respect for the fans when they rail roaded the formation of the regions in the first place. Yes the national team benefited but the club fanbase withered away over the years to where we are today. Rugby has become unimportant due to the lack of tribalism which the average fan enjoyed.

If the Dragons are not included in the restructure they will definitely take action. They recently signed the new agreement with more funding than the Ospreys and Scarlets.

Its certainly starting to look like East and West regions sharing grounds that's going to go down well🙈

We all knew it, but if this doesn't say Cardiff are guaranteed to be one of the two regions nothing will. East and West Wales are out of the equation.

"The WRU says their ownership will be a temporary solution with the governing body looking to return Cardiff to private hands. That is unlikely to happen until the future of professional rugby in Wales is resolved."

It'll be Newport you watch and Cardiff will continue to be called Cardiff no doubt about it, its all political bollox.

Litigation papers from Ospreys and Scarlets have probably been written ready to post utter shambles again by the WRU setting Welsh Rugby back even further, we're a tier one Rugby nation being run by clueless buffoons and yet again like everything else in Wales everything revolves around Cardiff.

Being Swansea born men , Ste, it’s easy to feel utter contempt for Cardiff anything
When I watched the Whites, they were as arrogant as they were in football
A shower of Kent’s

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

I think (and I have met a few) that it's the same as any walk of life. Some will be giant dickheads, some will be fantastic people and the rest will be somewhere in the middle.
