2028 seems overly long to me. I’d be culling next season and being more decisive. I would get someone from the SH to look at the options, write a report by the new year, and have it implemented next season
There’s a lot of politics at play and I think the WRU are trying to take an approach where they are seen to be working with the regions to bring about change. Or it might be to give less ammunition for a legal challenge. :D
I’m surprised they decided to only drop down to 3 regions and not 2. In some ways it seems fairer in terms of spreading the pain around, and would focus our resources in having (hopefully) two very good regions.
Agreed. The Dragons haven’t added to Welsh Rugby since their inception I would argue. Perrenial bottom of the table battle. Still, as a Scot, 2 teams limits pro pools and makes us rely on French and English teams paying pro wages. I’d love a third team
