FORMER Wales international Chris Horsman has told the WRU to act swiftly and show “strong leadership” after the governing body announced it could possibly cut two professional teams.

On Monday the WRU released a statement saying they were considering a “radical” strategy to change the game in Wales, with a period of consultation with the pro clubs about to be entered into.

Horsman, who played for the disbanded Celtic Warriors, says decisive action is now required.

“What the game needs more than anything at the moment is stability,” said Horsman, who was capped 14 times for Wales, to the BBC.

Trump gets a lesson in loyalty at last

DONALD Trump seems to be just discovering a life lesson the rest of us generally pick up somewhere between sharing crayons and passing our first spelling test: if you act like a playground bully, it’s probably unwise to expect the entire class to come charging to your rescue the moment someone punches back.
