Subject: You say that Provincial Rugby is a non-starter because the game in Wales is traditionally based on clubs, but the WRU threw tradition away a few years ago. I suggest that if we come down to 4 or 5 clubs then we are not basing our rugby on a club system at all. This is just provincial rugby under another name because the WRU haven't got the guts to fight the money men. Having gone that far we should go the last step, throw tradition out of the window and go for true provinces with a vibrant semi-professional club system underpinning it. Who is going to support the super teams, Cardiff supporters will support Cardiff, etc, with the majority of Welsh rugby fans disenfranchised. |
