Bullish Dragons chairman David Buttress has rubbished suggestions the game in Wales cannot financially support four professional regions.
Speaking for the first time since proposals to slash one of the four pro teams emerged just over a week ago, Buttress also insisted that administrators would regret any decision to cull a team and that it was not the option that was ‘focussed’ on when bosses met to discuss possible solutions this week.
The Dragons were thrust into the firing line as one of the teams to feel the axe given their majority owner is the Welsh Rugby Union and they have, in recent history, been the least successful region.
