I watched an English wing forward in his prime in the 1990s and apart from one or two Samoans never seen such a committed player. Crunching tackles and total bravery.
We marvelled as his attitude. Sadly he has recently been diagnosed with a serious brain injury. All of us cheering him on sticks in my mind and make me dislike myself in retrospect. I do not want to name himbour of respect. |
If you're talking about Lewis Moody, he's been all over the news, I think he wants it talked about to bring it to the attention of the masses. Raising awareness they call it. |  | |  |

The repercussions of possibly going down to two regions are starting to emerge and could cripple Welsh club rugby. The good players are not prepared to play in any proposed two region structure. They are saying if their current team no longer exists they will move outside Wales to play. There is also talk of players down through the regional age groups and academies looking to further their education away from Wales in English Universities and tie in with English clubs. Welsh club rugby could actually be much weaker if we went to two regions not stronger. |
Like I said when it was first proposed that those at the WRU are totally clueless, they have caused the mess that Welsh Rugby finds itself in, need proper intelligent business and rugby people at the helm, it's a total shitshow at the moment. |  |

The WRU if they cannot get a consensus will just have to let market forces make decisions for them. Cardiff should survive but one or two of Ospreys Scarlets and Newport will be allowed to go into administration.
If Swansea people with a population of 350,000 cannot economically out muscle and outlast the Scarlets in a city of 50,000 then Swansea does not deserve a team. |
Cardiff will survive because the WRI now owns them, if market forces were allowed then Cardiff would already cease to exist. Cardiff being the largets city in Wales, it disproves the rest of your post.
All clubs need is a money man willing to dig deep.
Now the size of the towns. do I need to point out to you that it's the number of people who turn out to watch that matters which is why towns with smaller populations than Swansea get bigger football crowds. | | | |

Probably lose our best players to this new R360 alliance assuming that they are chosen of course, LRZ, Tomas Williams and Jack are probably nailed on, I'm struggling to think of any others Wainwright perhaps. |
I think Welsh players are looking at spaces coming available in the English Premiership if English based players join the R360. |  | | |

Don't blame them it's a short career and they need to play where the money is, I'm slowly but surely resigning myself to the distinct possibility that I'm unlikely to see another era like the Gatland era which was littered with World class rugby players again in what's left of my lifetime.
It's not a great feeling. | |

The R360 has a whiff of Packer and cricket about it. Very attractive to those towards the end of their career and could well lead to a reset in the wider professional game. [Post edited 8 Oct 18:31]
