[QUOTE="TPenn, post: 531946, member: 39753"] At the moment, the money can be used however the regions choose. That includes facilities, coaches, academies etc. If that is just used to pay the players directly then the regions lose that, and also have no control over when their players are available. The WRU have more access to their internationals then any other country already, so I can understand why the regions are not keen to just hand the players over. To be honest, given the offer was made two months ago, this is just the WRU trying to make sure the public are on their side and paint the regions as the bad guys in all this. It's nowhere near as black and white as they seem to state. Leinster may not suffer too much because of central contracts, but then they can also bring in the likes of Nacewa, Thorn etc. [/QUOTE]
