Welsh rugby is broken and there doesn’t seem to be a plan to fix it.
The plight of the national side this season, coupled with the regions’ inability to compete in the United Rugby Championship, has left the game in Wales at a crossroads. Sources at all levels have publicly, and privately, indicated that there appears to be little direction coming from those running the sport. The Welsh Rugby Union’s decision to remain silent amid the chaos has done little to dispel the concerns.
On the field, Wales and the regions are struggling, the Wales under-20s side have not been in the Six Nations running for years and there are genuine fears over the quality of players that are coming through a development system that many feel is inferior to its competitors.
