Rival coach bristles at Dai Young's claim Welsh teams are '20 points behind' and tells regions they've got enough quality

Dai Flanagan has urged Welsh rugby to look inwards after a disappointing start to the United Rugby Championship season and insisted the four regions have the quality 'to win any game'.

After four rounds of matches, Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets all find themselves in the bottom half of the table and already trailing league leaders Leinster by at least 10 points.

Comments from the Dragons head coach come after Cardiff Director of Rugby Dai Young aired his views that the Welsh sides are '20 points behind most of the teams in this league'. Young, who welcomes Flanagan's Dragons to the Arms Park on Saturday evening, went on to point out that the biggest challenge for the game here is figuring out how to close the gap.
