At least the PWR is clearly the strongest women’s comp, whereas everyone agrees the PREM is fundamentally unserious rugby.

Clearly I'm not a rugby expert like the WRU but maybe you should have made sure that both Welsh captains don't leave on the same day before we're trying to recruit from NZ?

Replacing the Chief Financial Officer with a Chief Commercial Officer. I wonder what the banks will make of an organisation, which has broken its covenants several times and had to take out a number of short-term loans, not having a full-time CFO.

No confirmation that Y11 are one of the bidders but the WRU briefing that a deal to move to 3 is weeks away.
The easiest way to that is Y11 or one of the other team owners buying Cardiff?
