Wales Six Nations Squad 2025

[Which Tyler]

Welcome to... What? 2008?
Same story as every 6N and every AI since then
RFU pay (currently) £37M per year for access to the players for training weeks.
If the SRU/WRU/FIR want to pay the same (or, presumably, 1/6 of that for 1/6 as many players) then they're more than welcome to.

Quite how any NH rugby fan is still unaware of this is beyond me.

Its strange how the England players werent playing for their clubs this weekend, but Wales players were playing for English clubs, and its Wales that have got the first game of the 6 nations.

Scottish players played this weekend as well, for example Russell played for Bath.

Might that be a great driver for RFU losses?

If TNT get some or all of the Six Nations rights it's been speculated they will push to remove this situation

ETA: Sorry, this discurshould be either a thread of its own, or in the England squad thread, not here.

What do you want, the WRU to pay the English clubs for release?

Welsh boys know what they're signing up for, they know when the English boys are released they'll play, similar to welsh lads going to France know they'll be thrashed week in week out.

Are we all ready for the 'Miracle in Paris' Friday night?
