[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 614982, member: 13611"] The WRU response will be interesting. Could they take a hard line stance and refuse to pick players from the rebel regions for international duty? Will they create new regions under their control? Will they bar referees from officiating? Someone from NZ, SA or Australia could probably answer this best; how close is this to the war waged by Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch for control of Union (World Rugby Corporation v the Unions) and League (Super League v the Australian Rugby League) in the mid 90s? I understand the Welsh regions stance in wanting to join the Premiership even though it's harmful to European rugby as a whole. [/QUOTE]
