The exodus of young Welsh rugby talent to England has been a thorny subject for some time now.
In recent years, we have seen the likes of Callum Sheedy, Louis Rees-Zammit, Tommy Reffell, Ioan Lloyd and Christ Tshiunza all head across the River Severn to attend English schools and colleges, then linking up with Premiership clubs. It is a trend which doesn’t look likely to peter out any time soon either. Take, for example, a game which had been due to take place this week.
Bath were scheduled to take on Worcester in an U16s fixture. It was eventually cancelled because of the issues at the Warriors, but some 19 Welsh youngsters had been due to play in the game between the two teams.
