Warren Gatland wouldn't have taken Wales job if he'd known full picture as he addresses World Cup withdrawals and Rhys Carre for first time

@mikecollins1984@WalesRugby I know everything about it. Overall 55% for Wales but only 25% against SH teams. I could go further back but it's pointless. Winless at Waikato last time out and 1 out of 5 in this years 6N
@LWaunfawr .Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Walker there when all this was going on. If he didn't know he should have, if he did know he should have done something about it.
Nigel Walker has absolute faith in a man who appears to think that rapey comments at the WRU is mere sensationalism. But hey, he’s still sorry 🤔

Anyone think Rugby in NZ is all fine and dandy. Read this. Mark Reason: Wellington Rugby's finances reflect professional rugby teetering on the brink? Mark Reason: Wellington Rugby's finances reflect professional rugby teetering on the brink | Stuff.co.nz
It's why the WRU should hasten up to Wrexham & do a deal to locate a team there. Can you imagine what could happen. Either locate the Ospreys or create a new WRU owned team, and let the market decide if all of the existing 4 teams can survive. Hell, I'd even go over and help them
Here's a thought. Why did the owners, board members and executives in the Regions allow the players to make the running in the negotiations. The Regions should have advised the WRU that they were not making their players available, rather than the players threatening to strike.
A reply to all those nay sayers and keyboard warriors. Wake up and smell the roses people. The Ospreys have proven they have no future after 20 years. They know it which is why they are trying to do a deal with Ealing ffs. Just a matter of time, why? Because of lack of supporters
@RugbyPhilBB@tom4jones@scarletpimp72 It just did me old mucker, anyway I've had my fun tonight, I'm off to get rid of Levy and sort my beloved Tottenham out
So, here's another option. Msge to new CEO. Don't sell the Dragons or Rodney Pde. Centrally contract the D's players That's the Irish model. Sure, the other clubs will kick off, but your job is to save Welsh Rugby. Let O's go to Ealing or resurrect deal with S's or anything else
@NexGenRugby I understand money is an issue but what consultation did you give to the clubs or the communities ? You sat on a huge salary and did what you do best a hatchet job ! It was rushed pure and simple , no structures or support networks were put in place !
@RugbyPhilBB@scarletpimp72 Yes I now know that the privately owned clubs have allowed themselves to be dictated to by the WRU, without a real fight. I admit I was unaware that the WRU have total control over player wages, which is the equal of central contracts. What were the clubs thinking, if they were
@Dafydd564500951 Oh dear here we go, you may be right about the culture issue but I should point out professional sport in a tiny country like Wales gives no consideration to issues such as the ones you raise it's about MONEY nothing else
@NexGenRugby You clearly care to respond ! You are the narcissistic architect of what we are seeing in welsh Rugby , you gave no consideration to the culture or needs of the welsh rugby community !
@RugbyPhilBB@scarletpimp72 So finally you admit that the WRU has Central Contracts in all but name. Seems to me that the cringe factor lies solely with you. The fact you don't understand that is not unusual. They control the clubs lock stock and barrell and could easily pay the players centrally
@tom4jones@daf1999@RugbyPhilBB@StephenMatt73 Because the pyjama warriors on here are only interested in bashing the WRU (deservedly) and supporting the unsupportable, because of misplaced view that pro clubs can exist on average crowds of 5k
