According to Wales online the new Pro14 will be split into two conferences and we will only play Ospreys once, home or away.

We really need this Pro12 initiative to fail unfortunately. It is killing every ounce of momentum the domestic game in Wales has. Which wasn't much to begin with.
Perhaps then, a proper competition can be implemented. |

If there is a two conference system, there's 5 league home games (& away) to be replaced by something else.

It definitely feels like selling you're soul and dumping on your real power base, in order to make a quick buck from elsewhere.

there is no way one extra game against a bunch of saffers, who are only in the league to gain european contracts elsewhere, are worth halving our fixture list for!
Its taken since 2003 to finally start building luke warm rivalries with the Irish and Scottish teams to replace the games v Ponty etc. Now we wanna start again? 14 team league home and away. In the meantime send Llanelli rfc into the English system.

I'll still not believe they are joining till they play their first Pro 14 game and, like much of what WOL say I'll take this with a big dose of sales.
The best Cheetahs and Kings players will move to the other Super Rugby sides and, on that basis, where is this £10m extra TV and sponsorship money going to come from?, |

Like what exactly? People bemoaning the lack of welsh fixtures, do you or they want to go back to a welsh league and play Ponty and Poola etc. The game has gone professional, its all about the money. People are saying this new league is a dog's dinner, they're spot on as it happens, but so is the current league. The only differance is that next season's dog's dinner will provide us with more revenue. It's not about what the paying fans want, hasnt been for years, just look at fixture times. Its about TV revenue, end of. Edited by Tim Opolis - 16 July 2017 at 3:33pm |

Currently, all Pro12 teams get a £1m each per year from TV revenue.
Inclusion of SA sides will make this figure jump by £8m PER SIDE per season. Makes total financial sense. Edited by PE SA - 16 July 2017 at 3:28pm |

The way the two groups are likely to be lined up we'd have easier fixtures if we had come second ironically.

If this proposal of a new league system goes ahead I can see fans staying away splitting the Welsh teams up and losing Welsh derbies absolute madness
And also read about South African sides coming to play in Anglo Welsh Cup |
