Wales rugby greats add insights over WRU team cut proposals
Western Mail
|February 10, 2026
TWO Wales greats were asked about the current Ospreys situation ahead of Wales' disastrous start to the Six Nations against England.
Off the field, tensions are building in Welsh regional rugby with the WRU's plans to reduce the number of professional teams in Wales to three by the 2027/28 season.
Ospreys are currently seen as the most at-risk region because their owners, Y11, have been given a 60-day exclusivity period to purchase Cardiff Rugby. This means that Ospreys could cease to exist.
Jamie Roberts is a non-executive board member for the WRU and involved in the decision-making process and was asked about the decision to cut the number of regions.
The iconic centre has always been open and honest in his analysis and again provided rugby fans with an explanation for the call.
