The disparity is principally due to the fact the English Championship is fully professional nowadays, while the Welsh Premiership isn't. Still, I wasn't expecting anything like such a one-sided match either.

Pretty much all of the starting 15 are full time pros who have played together a decent amount. It's not like the babas who literally rock up a few days before.
That is a disgraceful score line. There are a fair few in that team who we have high hopes for too. I think we need to reassess the potential of a few of them. |

Welsh Premiership not fit for purpose??? What are you talking about? Virtually all that team are full time pros or on development contracts! That score line had nothing to do with the standard of the premiership. Disgraceful scoreline.

Not fit for the top end game so you think that we have enough players in Wales for 16 semi pro teams ?? If so well off the mark,all those who started played semi pro rugby last week or two .A teams playing weekly or far more regularly,Ealing joy to watch,who play together week in week out at levels well above,what our boys are not allowed or exposed too

Several of the side we had out have been playing Pro12 rugby lately, losing by that margin is unbelievable, whichever way it's dressed up they were playing against a 2nd tier English club and have conceded a point a minute!

Some might say we have too many Regional teams as well!

There's an argument for merging the Dragons and Blues, but Ospreys and Scarlets do well.

I think the sheer margin of the loss was so unexpected, certainly by the supporters but I have no idea what the coaches knew about Ealing Or our chances. 84-7 is totally humiliating by any rugby yardstick. Really disappointing stuff.

And the Prem Select team (A side) was really fit for purpose today wasn't it? A team stuffed with pros being humiliated. A great success 👍

If I remember rightly Harries had a bad injury that took some time to recover from so was released. He remained unsigned but was picked up by the sevens squad.

An absolutely dreadful result, but to repeat: English Championship is fully professional, Welsh Premiership isn't. Despite that, Pontypridd, Cross Keys and Llanelli did quite well in the British & Irish Cup. I know the former in particular were very upset and angry when the Premiership Select sides were introduced. Furthermore, Ireland also send 'A' teams of their provinces, so their semi-professional rugby can't be that brilliant either.
