They've got partnerships with the Ospreys and Dragons already so not a surprise, albeit yes very disappointing.
This all feels a bit messy now, the school/college/club game was reasonably well aligned and now you'll have players from other regions blocking the places of people in the region. If you want areas to buy into their nearest pro team you ideally want a collective backing in the community and this sort of thing doesn't really drive that.

Foxy is now a pundit on the Good the Bad & the Rugby podcast & he was talking about there needs to be better links between the Premiership sides & the regions. He spoke about how regional players need to see it more as pride for representing local club sides than being relegated to their squads.

It would be surprising if this wasn't the case.First and foremost,private education is about making money,in spite of tbe charitable status of the schools.Money talks.

In recent years the Scarlets have used Llandovery to tempt good young talent. Brecon provides a similar service. The problem we have of course when comparing with the English systems is that places like Hartbury offer educational opportunities from 16-21 whereas it ends at A level at Brecon & Llandovery I think.

I get it from an educational point of view and it gives youngsters more options, it just means that we'll need to work a bit harder to keep/tempt new talent as the route to where they go and end up is increasingly up for grabs.
