[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 935726, member: 45598"] The Welsh regions would have to convince every single English club individually as well as the IRFU and SRU, who are both perfectly happy and reaping rewards of the Pro 14, to start a new competition. Talk of new competitions and criticising the Pro 14 is completely indicative of how Welsh rugby never truly bought into the competition despite having the 2nd and 4th most successful teams in the competition. (You only have to look at all the Irish conspiracies in the season after the Scarlets won) It also ignores the Welsh Regions having absolutely no bargaining power, if they brought the idea of a B&I league the response would be "get your own house in order and then we'll talk" and the rest of the Pro 14 shareholders would continue to try to court the South Africans while looking for opportunities in Spain, Germany and beyond.
