WRU meet with regions to set process in motion
Western Mail
|November 05, 2025
THE Welsh Rugby Union will meet with all four professional clubs this week in a bid to start the process of going down to three teams.
Last month the WRU announced it wanted to reduce the number of professional teams from four to three with one based in Cardiff, one in the east and one in the west by the 2027/28 season at the latest.
The WRU will meet individually with representatives of all four sides - Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets - in person this week to find a way forward.
While its decision to cut down to three teams has not gone down well it wishes to do so by consensus rather than going out to tender to avoid a lengthy legal battle.
There will be many topics of conversation on the agenda and it would undoubtedly be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in the union's meetings with both the Ospreys and the Scarlets.
