[QUOTE="Jerry Blue, post: 731696, member: 72724"] But that's the thing sadly welsh club rugby died when rugby went professional. Clubs like Pontypridd RFC are just to small to sustain a professional franchise as the cost is too much so Wales has to have franchises based in the biggest towns/cities and this has caused certain fans to hate that. The franchises themselves are viable and in the correct places they just need to be run and marketed correctly and I also believe that the dream of joining the Aviva will be realised as a full British and Irish league as part of the war between BT Sport and Sky sports and as the price for votes for Ireland 2023 world cup bid. I also believe the changes that are being rushed through and implemented are part of a plan to work towards a B&I league. Honestly as well does anyone in wales really care what Ponty did in the B&I cup? apart from Ponty fans. It is a development tournament after all and A teams are all about development and not crowds.
