[QUOTE="Jerry Blue, post: 731937, member: 72724"] According to the 2011 census Llanelli has a population 49,951. So either Llanelli council is wrong or the census. My bet is on the council. When have the fans ever been thought about! If the fans had been thought about the pro 12 would be a different league set up to maximise it's potential instead of just a warm up tournament for the Irish for Europe and the Internationals. It's about branding Blues and Ospreys or Swansea and Cardiff can be better promoted than East Wales and West Wales. Nope haven't got the Rugby paper today. The A teams going into the B&I cup is so the pro 12 teams are the only ones playing the cross border competitions and it gives them the chance to put in the proper layered structure of 1st team then A team then academy. I hope it leads to the whole feeder team thing going and a draft put in place like in the US so the worst team gets the first pick and each team have their A team play in either a pro 12 A league or B&I A league. That way the pro 12 teams are a separate level to the Premiership. [/QUOTE]
