| The regions has 23 players featuring on a weekend. The rest shoulld playing for semi pro sides every week (if they are fit including the rfc) that would help |

| Totally agree RR. Does anyone know how many of the Blues squad regularly turn out for the RFC? |

the scarlets players not playing in the 23 wouldnt it be better for them to get game time with the clubs rather than just training? ------------- Once a Scarlet, always a Scarlet! |

In some cases for sure, but it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario for me. The Semi pro teams in the region (not Quins for some reason) play a stack of Academy and delvopment players by and large, and also it's a good platform for players making their way back from injury (Like Iestyn Rees, Tomi Lewis, Corey Baldwin, Dan Davis in the recent games). The challenge is that just to give guys outside the Scarlets match day 23 a 'game' is riddled with risk of injury, and the Scarlets squad, already compromised with 25% of the squad usually injured ( which is standard) is compromised further. I see the above as a different issue to the RFC larger playing squad challenge, it's well catalogued that the team is seriously under funded in comparison to other teams, including Quins and Drovers. |

I’m guessing you mean someone like Ryan Jenkins. |

for how rugby working nowadays, should be really strange to have a 20yo talent playing in regional rugby and not higher level. but regional rugby could be really good for players who lost their best form and can help youngsters with their experience

If finishing at say 1915, allowing say an hour for post match stuff, food and onto the coach, is there a late night flight from Cardiff to Schipol? Or are they going to Heathrow? If Heathrow, say 3 hours travel 2215 plus check-in etc, it’s a pretty late flight departure. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

I don’t think it would have made any difference to the RFC result sadly. ☹️ Always outmuscled by older bigger men especially upfront ...doing okayish for 45 -50 minutes and then in goes the opposition hammer season after season. So sad to see and unfair on the team
