It was ridiculous that 5 regions then 4 were going to be competitive in Europe. Gallant defeats. Glory in defeat. Two regions please and a stronger structure underneath. | | | |

The two regions may well end up being Cardiff and the Scarlets. I enjoy a game of rugby, but the way its going I think the WRU are going to kill off the game below international level. If there are 2 Regions, then a large proportion of rugby's fan base outside Cardiff and Scarlet ville will be disenfranchised. All for a stonger Principality Premiership though. | | | |

That could work. I'm not convinced the best players will sign for a North region unfortunately. | | | |

Only if all team branding was dropped and they played in colours with no bearing to any existing team. Completely new entities. | |

The WRU have already ruined club rugby in Wales once, and now they want to ruin it again? Further proof that they only care about the national team, and not one jot for the club, or grassroots game. Why might this be? Could it be because there is no money to be made from it, while the national team is more of a cash cow? Why the hell is a professional sport run by an amateur board anyway? Shambles. | | | |

Indeed. One of the clubs in the league is owned entirely by the national governing body. Imagine if one of the premier league clubs were owned by the FA. | | | |

The point he’s making is that our region has won this league a few times, not done by either the blues or the dragons . They are both very close to each other and makes much more sense for them to merge. It’s just the blues only route to any success is to hang on to the Ospreys coattails. F*cking disgrace if that ever happened | |

It’s probably because very few in Wales care about anything other than the national team. If the 4 regions were getting sell out crowds every week, they’d be much more viable. It’s sad but the vast majority (me included) only really get into rugby when Wales are playing. | | | |

No history of rugby union in North Wales. The "regions" are a total misnomer. Everyone knows they are just based on wales' four biggest clubs. Swansea Llanelli Newport And Cardiff. Just call them by the proper names | |

Ospreys on 16:12 - Feb 27 with 4606 views | Professor | Was a mess up from the start as Llanelli and Cardiff declared themselves too important for a merger. Essentially there should have been West (Llanelli, Swansea, Neath ), Central (Bridgend, Cardiff, Pontypridd) and Eastern (Newport, Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Newbridge) regions. Like Munster they could have had a main base (Liberty, Arms Park, Rodney Parade) for Europe and played league games at Stradey, The Gnoll, Sardis Road, Eugene Cross Park etc,). Could have had a 12/14 team semi-pro league below with the feeder clubs, Carmathern, Mid Wales and North Wales teams. The rest stay as amateurs. The original plan was Swansea/Llanelli, Neath/Bridgend (The Black Ravens), Cardiff/Pontypridd and Gwent. We ended up with the Warriors and Ospreys as regions and the others as glorified clubs. | | | |
