@Rreesrugby @SuperRugbyCymru Even more of a farce was Quins 14 men uncontested due to WRUs digital team sheet being unfit, declared void, declared a replay, then decided no time to replay and original result stands!

@Rreesrugby @SuperRugbyCymru Farce. Absolute farce. SRC needs more sides. Then you wouldnt need the "Cup thats a league containing the same teams as the league" jammed in after 3 weeks off with no time for replays.

Nor would you need EVERY team in the league in the playoffs.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@Oweninsouts @AllWalesSport The WRU see fans of anywhere outside Cardiff, Newport, Llanelli as an inconvenience.
SRC in particular.
They'd rather have an entire structure of just development sides and no meaningful competition.
Without fans wanting more they could do that faster.
They actively hate fans.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@turfcreative @AllWalesSport That's exactly what the wru told everyone in Gwent and the Valleys to do when they set this thing up originally.

Their thinking hasn't changed. They don't care.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@VagueRegions @Oweninsouts @RhiRhiOnRugby There always were. There still are.
That was the core of the problem and still is.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@FlorianJehanno It was done. Deliberately, using blackmail and legal threats. They enjoyed it, celebrated the outcome.
They deserve the same. The fans, players and staff. Everyone who did it to others so enthusiastically the last time.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@JiffyRugby @AllWalesSport Well they alienated all of Gwent and most of the valleys 20 years ago so this is just a top up of that policy.
If you're not in a big town they don't want you to have a rugby team.
Never have done.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@Oweninsouts Cardiff created this mess (them and the turks) with their legal threats to make sure they never had to be regions.
It is pleasing to see them squeal when something doesn't go their way entirely for once.
Lots of toys being hurled from the prams over Westgate Street tonight.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@Oweninsouts @RhiRhiOnRugby Indeed.
We lost our clubs and rugby when they created the Ospreys (and allowed 3 standalone clubs instead of forcing regions).

Most fans lost rugby a long time before this.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@RhiRhiOnRugby Whilst the Ospreys shouldnt be culled, the "Cultural Vandalism" happened when the Ospreys were created (and the other 3 standalones).
THAT destroyed most of the fanbase and rugby culture in Wales for most people. This is just a minor addition 20 years later.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@Oweninsouts Thats what they SHOULD have done 20 odd years ago when they supposedly created regions.
Sadly though we had the WRU, corruption and Moffett so we got 3 standalone clubs and 1 merger. No actual regions.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@jones_mog @WelshRugbyUnion Well they disenfranchised 230 odd clubs and roughly 2 million people 20 odd years ago when they created the Ospreys and allowed Cardiff, Newport and Turks to stand alone so this is small fry to them.
They dont care if you're not from one of those 3 places. Never have. Never will.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@rugbygaga Most of us from the clubs lost our pro rugby link 20 years ago when this fiasco was setup. Most of us have never been to a professional game since and wont.
You can still support the clubs that make up the region without giving a toss about the pro side itself.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@DrPaulMcDonald @OspreysSC Try the SRC where the WRU, not content with placing squad players, from next year want to control what coaches go to what clubs, for how long AND the doctors and physios.
Central control with no thought what-so-ever for the fans or clubs themselves.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@mucky24 Thats what happens with an unaccountable union with huge corruption and nepotism.
They screwed over MOST of Wales 20 odd years ago. They're just continuing now. They'll do anything to protect Cardiff, Newport and Turks.
The valley and Gwent lost their sides a while ago.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@Forestfan03 @ospreys @Lance_Bradley_ Maybe just copy what happened 20 years ago when the players of Neath, Swansea, Aberavon were told the same when this semi-region was forced on them?

Of the 4, they deserve culling the least but they are part of the problem (or were when it started).

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@GibsonMarshall7 Why do you think they're regions?
IF you think they're regions go support the actual clubs that supposedly make up the region.
Wales does not, and never has had regional rugby. That's the whole problem. Most fans lost their club 20 odd years ago when this turd was created.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@paulchapman18 @SwanGirlH We have never had regional teams. That's just marketing junk.
We had the Turks who refused to be a region. Cardiff and Newport the same. Neath and Swansea that merged 2 clubs only and Warriors the same.
Wales has never had regional rugby. WRU corruption made sure of that.

[RDW @WhitcombeRD]

@allenharv_ Can watch Neath, Swansea, Aberavon or the others.
You know, the actual clubs the supposed "region" was supposed to represent.
Or dont you give a toss about club rugby?
WRU is corrupt. It was ALWAYS going to protect Cardiff over you. Sadly thats how it is and always will be.
