Cutting two of Wales' four pro clubs is WRU's 'optimal' choice

Welsh Rugby Union's chief executive Abi Tierney acknowledges the emotional impact of potential changes in the rugby landscape, emphasizing the need for a different approach to benefit fans. Proposed options include restructuring clubs with varying funding levels. A consultation period starting in September will precede a final decision in October, with potential opposition from regional teams. The aim is to alter the current rugby model in Wales for the better.
