Former England international Andy Goode has declared he would not want to see Welsh sides jumping leagues to join the Gallagher Premiership.
Adding his voice to speculation that two Welsh clubs have been lined up to replace Worcester and Wasps amid financial troubles, the ex-outside half, who played for five Premiership teams across his career, argues that some of the Welsh professional teams have been "bang average".
The financial worries at Worcester Warriors and the threat to the club's very existence have fuelled speculation that an opening could materialise for a couple of regions to switch leagues.
