Post by: Mellie on February 16, 2023, 01:00:20 PM: If WRU can only afford 3 regions why not have West Wales (Scarlets & Ospreys), East Wales (Cardiff & Dragons) and London Welsh (Ealing), with players redistributed across the 3. Probably means Ealing have to leave RFU and join WRU for regulatory purposes.

Get rid of the 60 cap rule so the very top players can move elsewhere to get a realistic salary in line with their peers in other countries too.

........... and London Welsh (Ealing) ........... Welsh Exiles?

Get rid of the 60 cap rule so the very top players can move elsewhere to get a realistic salary in line with their peers in other countries too. That would make more sense - the same should apply to English players overseas.

Probably for the same reason Man u and Liverpool haven't merged! Scarlets fans not ones for sharing and think East is Swansea.
