[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1164416, member: 74704"] Which is part of the problem. Parochialism is killing professional rugby in England and Wales. There is just not the money available to run local clubs at the scale needed as most money is in football. In France, the split is more equal, just look at Clermont-Ferrand Foot and the rugby finances, so it is easier to run the club game properly. I hope Nigel Walker'splan for the Welsh development competition is successful, as this will provide exactly what is being suggested above and will give Wales a proper feeder system at last. [/QUOTE]
