Geez that makes some pretty grim reading for Wales ongoing. R360 is just the thing that could bring the sport to it's knees with an exodus of top talent, just making them the whipping boys going forward with no finances to inject back into the sport. As it is they are reducing from 4 pro teams down to 2.

Additionally, Wales are ranked 12th, below Italy.


Also in the 38 man British and Irish Lions squad against the Wannabes earlier this year, only two Welsh players were involved. Even if 10 players from Wales went to r360, the quality would most likely be inferior.

I wonder if the proposed promotion and regelegation for the six nations would ever happen. Cause at some point traditions change.

That said, if Wales were demoted, I'd suggest that would be the end of the sport being pro there ever again. While who knows how Georgia who rank only 1 higher than them, would find having the sport in the big leagues and the money that goes with it.

You know Captain Cook turned down triple the money offered to Captain his own private vessel.

Only idiots think just about money and they live an empty life and end up in the same pine box as everyone else.
Probably a better quality timber box with the money they supposedly will receive.

Wales is to R360 as Cronulla Sharks were to Super League... Poor and desperate, with no alternative but to grab cash.
