[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 614976, member: 55446"] Was going to put this in the Premiership section, but I think the ramifications are a little further reaching than just the Premiership. ESPN are saying that the Welsh regions will "reportedly" turn their backs on the WRU and the participation agreement, in order to join the Aviva Premiership: [URL]http://www.espn.co.uk/wales/rugby/story/209805.html[/URL] There's to be a clause whereby only one Welsh team can be relegated at any one point. I think that this goes a fair way to addressing concerns that the Welsh regions may languish in the Championship somewhere down the line. I think it's a decent compromise. The more time that goes by, the more realistic this seems as an eventuality. Can't wait. :) [/QUOTE]
