[QUOTE="TRF_Cymro, post: 399652, member: 40909"] Summer rugby is not what Wales needs / wants. It would not work for much the same reasons as summer football has not worked. The logistics would not make any sense either. For this to even work you would need to restructure NH rugby, which lets be honest I don't think would happen. Regions need to start supporting the clubs first and not just take the players without giving something in return, this is a major problem within the regional set ups. Journeymen are few and far between in the Welsh Premiership, you target Neath, Dull but really thats a little unfair. Yes Arwel Thomas played there until last season but he was very successful still at that level, he ran the show at the Gnoll. I also think its fair to say that neither of the current fly half options in Dai Langdon and James Thomas were not ready and also learning from the likes of Arwel has improved their game. Likewise or Kevin Farrell and Tom James at scrum half. Neath have a perfect blend of youngsters and the right experience and that is why they have been so successful in recent years, the same goes for Pontypridd who likewise have a good mix of young and experienced players. RGC wont be integrated any time soon. The new changes to be implemented in 2012-13 has completely excluded them from coming into the Welsh Premiership. This season under the old new plan RGC were meant to be given a play off chance, but everything went quiet after they failed to fulfil a fixture in the Swalec Cup. RGC are better than most of the bottom half sides so its a slight disappointment they are not being given a chance. [/QUOTE]
