Reposted by Morgancf10rugbytrust.bsky.social @cf10rugbytrust.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Didn't the WRU say something about not wanting a PR war? The choice of questions in their survey suggests the opposite. They seem selected to generate useful answers to help justify a desired outcome. And going by the response on social media, they are already getting a kicking in that PR war. 2133

Reposted by MorganSei Williams @seiwilliams.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Among many depressing elements of the WRU's likely "optimal solution" is that they will still spend less per club than the Scottish Rugby Union. And yet they still believe that their extremely centralised new system will allow Welsh rugby to outperform its better-resourced competitors. 75510
Reposted by MorganJamie Phillips @jnphillips4.bsky.social · 19/08/2025WRU cutting down to two teams is bad enough but creating two new entity compass point East and West teams would be the worst possible solution. All you are doing is alienating 4 sets of supporters then. Welsh rugby might as well turn off the lights now. 1193
Reposted by MorganJamie Phillips @jnphillips4.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Supporters of the Welsh pro teams should be heading into the new season full of hope and optimism.
