Here is the simple and angry truth. If the owners of one region can quietly dispose of another when it suits them, then no club is safe.

The deal is not yet final.
There will be a way to fight this, to show that nobody but the WRU wants the death of Wales' most successful region.
It's time to find them and fight.

“They gave Welsh rugby what they believed the moment demanded, but that belief was often shaped by how professionalism looked rather than how it functioned. Too often, those at the top seemed to take themselves more seriously than they took the job itself.”

Welsh Rugby’s Orwellian Dystopia. Welcome to 1984.
Back in the 80s, when accused of policy reversals, one leader famously stated “The lady’s not for turning.” In Welsh rugby, it increasingly appears that the leadership very much is for turning.…

If it’s true that Dave Reddin’s claim West Wales can’t support two pro teams is directly tied to the number of *private schools in the area* then we are even more fucked than I thought.

Dear Rugby Social Media Managers,
Nobody likes squads listed alphabetically.
It won't help new fans learn player names or understand positions and experienced fans get fed up with the mental gymnastics needed to figure out the positional balance of a squad.
Thanks.

You may think that the way that the WRU spends our money has only recently become a bone of contention.
Let's go back 11 years and see what they were up to.
The WRU is systemically rotten, beyond repair. If Welsh Rugby is to survive, the WRU needs to be completely dismantled and replaced.

It's difficult to say with hand on heart that Wales has ever been great. Perennial under achiever, runt of the UK litter, sending stuff over the border and all over the world with little return. It's time we made Wales great, stood on our own 2 feet and build a better future for all our citizens.

Horribly torn on Gerald-gate.
On the one hand, his generation are more 'British' than subsequent generations, a generation which values this sort of recognition. So, it's kind of nice for him and them
On the other, it's such a dated, imperial, colonial anachronism.
And such a disappointment, TGR.
