[QUOTE="profitius, post: 614831, member: 41524"] The solution IMO would be to create proper regions. The regions they have now are really clubs disguised as regions ie Cardiff, Llanellli etc. They're fooling nobody and the WRU at the time made a balls of it. We in Ireland are said to be lucky because of the provinces but thats far from perfect too. For instance you have a professional team in Galway, with a population of 60,000 while in Cork 300,000+ people you have about 4 or 5 pro 12 games a year against weak opposition. Not very efficient is it! It looks even crazier when you consider that Galway and Limerick are not far from each other in the west. The Welsh simply cannot go back to a club game because that would create more problems. For starters theres too many clubs, the quality would be diluted. You have professionals coming up against amateurs. When getting together to play for the regions in Europe the players will be lacking cohesion and way off the level of intensity and speed required and probably in bad condition too. [/QUOTE]
