Surely this should be based on meritocracy. Without a doubt Llandovery are the leading feeder club to the Scarlets.

I personally dont think the regions, if they get to choose who, should choose the club in the same locality as the region i.e. Llanelli, Swansea,Cardiff &Newport, only for the reason that they should expand the region outside the town/city. I think that it would have a positive effect on the new 8 team super league. Let those 4 clubs join the next division down.

Aberavon and llandovery should be there on merit. Neath and ponty pooler and bridgend good history decent fan base ebbw vale and merthyr strong sides. Going to be a lot of blow back from those who miss out

Think WRU want to go back to the old merit style league well known teams like years ago
Be interesting to see who would get the three wild picks if it is one feeder club from each region and RGC in the new league

I have said over ten years ago we needed an eight team Welsh Premiership . Why does it take so long to see this sensible and correct decision .

A floor is a minimum spend. I was just thinking that as we’d want this new league to be competitive you don’t want one team spending a pittance on their squad and getting smashed week in week out by the others.

That's the realistic one, his original one probably has 10 countries.

The WRU really need to hold their hands up and say that regardless of the governance changes they've failed miserable in many many other areas and the deal with the regions and governance changes are very much starting from an exceptionally low point.
Initially it won't be about catching other nations, it's about not falling even further behind and then once we've stabilised trying to catch up. All the little things are a mess, the 18's women's and men's played yesterday but nothing about the scores until this morning for the men's, and there's still nothing for the women's. The WRU have only just confirmed the dates for all the community finals, the first one is less than a fortnight away, they should have been confirmed months ago to allow people to plan around them. Wherever you look things need fixing.
