[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 935632, member: 20956"] This. As Snoop said, the regions have certainly brought a higher level of rugby to Wales with far more professional set ups, which has fed through to a more successful Welsh side on the international scene. However like Mike says above, they messed up by not starting fresh, which has left us to to the problem we see today. I was maybe 11 or 12 when the regions came in, and only probably started following club rugby properly a few years after this, so the Blues are the only club level team I've followed. I don't see how going back to the old club system is even remotely possible with modern rugby finances, and as ever it's only the old guard who really want a return to that. That said - much of the old Celtic Warriors region is still left behind, so I do feel for them and understand why they're still so frustrated.* *This does not include Valleys Commando, he was just a bit of a ****.
