'Look at the facts!' Dai Young delivers brutally honest home truth to Welsh rugby

Dai Young believes Wales' four professional sides are '20 points behind' their United Rugby Championship rivals in a sobering warning to Welsh rugby.

Just four rounds into the 2022/23 URC season and things have a familiar feel to them. Like last year, all four sides are in the bottom half of the table and outside the play-off spots. Of course, there is a long way to go but there is a sense of deja vu with Welsh sides, in particular, struggling to claim favourable results away from home.

Collectively, the regions have won three and lost 9 of their matches against teams from other countries. Of those nine defeats, seven were by margins greater than seven and five of those were by margins greater than 14.
