Rumour now that the teams being expunged can reapply for league position for the 2024/25 @WelshRugbyUnion season, but won’t be given funding from the WRU.

It’s now beyond laughable at this point.

[GogPod @GogPod]

Rumours of @ruthinrugby @RhosRugbyClub & @FlintRugbyCymru being removed from Div 3NE by the @WelshRugbyUnion @WRU_Community for not fulfilling fixtures, yet teams having plans to fulfil fixtures.

This is a disgrace.
Have some empathy for our Community clubs.

@back_rugby48003 @GogPod @WRU_Community @WelshRugbyUnion Also, the biggest attrition rate of players is from youth to senior rugby, this would make that worse.
U16's teams that don't have a youth set up, can just become the youth team 🤷‍♂️

[Richard Hopkins @welshhop]

@back_rugby48003 @GogPod @WRU_Community @WelshRugbyUnion There, what about players that are U18 at the start of the season. but not yet turned 18? Where do they play?

[Richard Hopkins @welshhop]

@back_rugby48003 @GogPod @WRU_Community @WelshRugbyUnion What benefit will an U17s league over youth bring?

[Richard Hopkins @welshhop]

@Cheddar_Fish @GogPod @WRU_Community @WelshRugbyUnion Rhyl are already safe in Div 2

[GogPod @GogPod]

What is happening in the North Wales Leagues @WRU_Community @WelshRugbyUnion? Rumours of teams being kicked out of leagues, teams being told to play multiple games in one day..

This needs NW solutions to NW problems. These decisions can’t be made from an office in Cardiff.

@SquidgeRugby @davidth96937192 For exactly the reasons i mentioned above. 👍

[Richard Hopkins @welshhop]

@davidth96937192 @SquidgeRugby What is better for business.
- keeping your current customers happy. Or
- risk a high attrition rate by 'diversifying ' your content to suit, theoretical, 'new customers' who may or may not give a shit.

[Richard Hopkins @welshhop]

@davidth96937192 @SquidgeRugby Their topic is mens rugby, and their demographic are men. Chances are they would likely put their listeners off, if they started to cover things that are outside of the topics that gace them their success.

@rich_corless @SuperRugby Are you mad, he's literally bent 90degrees at the waist, attempts to wrap. Nothing wrong with it.
If you think this is a red then touch rugby is probably best.

@RugbyPass How many of the faster lads are 15stone, and 6' 3''
