Reports over the last few days have indicated that the Premier Division clubs have agreed a new five team solution which they will put to the WRU CEO David Moffett after a meeting between the clubs on Friday morning. For further details read on.

The 5 Team Solution!

   Reports over the last couple of days have indicated that a five team proposal has been agreed between the Premier Division clubs. However, no-one outside of the clubs knows which teams are prepared to merge and which teams will stand alone.

   We believe that there are two possible options on the table but both options will involve Llanelli and Cardiff standing alone with those teams standing alone receiving less funding.

   The first option is: Llanelli and Cardiff (Stand Alone), Bridgend & Pontypridd, Neath & Swansea, Newport & Ebbw Vale (Merged teams)

   The second option is: Llanelli, Cardiff and Pontypridd (Stand Alone), Bridgend & Neath, Newport & Ebbw Vale (Merged teams) with Swansea dropping out completely.
