[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 544288, member: 48703"] When brought up on their forum, most of them said they quit watching the Dragons if they became officially a Welsh version of Connacht and would watch Newport in the Principality Premiership instead. ([url]http://draggedup.co.uk/chat/viewtopic.php?t=4603[/url]) I tell you what, with the current iffy financial state of the regions as it is, the possibility of Cardiff and Ospreys playing in England and the rest playing in the Principality Premiership similar to how they do in Football could actually plausibly happen. I don't think the WRU has ever done a good job with the regions to be honest. They were correct to move away from the clubs in 2003, but the handling of change over to regions and then handling of the regions has let a lot to be desired. It almost seems sometimes like there are too many who simply resist making tough but much needed change in Welsh rugby and make it all too difficult for the domestic game in Wales to be at its best. Just look at the Celtic Warriors situation from start to finish and that is an example of the bickering mess that is the running of Welsh domestic rugby. [/QUOTE]
