[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 474152, member: 55969"] I am lucky I am within walking distance of the parc. So I'll be heading down for the U20's once all the details are known. I don't think the parc has had it's pubilic opening yet and seem to think it is not due till the summer to fit in with the 2012 games. As an Englishman I am not that up to speed on the WRU structure. It seems to me that the WRU have missed a trick with North Wales. Maybe they are starting to get there act together. The term developement area worries me, jsut seems that all the talent will go down south to the regions once the players have been brought on. Coming from Northampton and playing most of my club rugby there. I know the local clubs have strong links with the Saints and feed players into the system that way. So you get your the likes of Lawes, Diggin, Thompson, Cohen coming through. Any talent found here is going to the four regions down south to the regions and it seems such a shame. You have a hugh amount of Welsh rugby support and a number of local clubs. The Ospreys for some reason sem to be the most followed team here, I am sure if a region did set up here it would do well. I do wonder why the WRU are not so keen. [/QUOTE]
