Historically, the WRU is guilty of years of underinvestment into the professional game and its pathways. Welsh rugby has been driven to this point by the actions of a handful of former CEOs and directors. Should Welsh rugby simply carry on as it is and revisit reform in a few years’ time, perhaps after collecting another three Wooden Spoons? The central reality is there is not enough talent, and not enough money, to sustain four strong professional teams. As a result of these economic realities, many Welsh players now ply their trade in England, with others in France and Japan.
