The man who brought regional rugby to Wales has called for it to be scrapped and replaced by a new four-club elite of Newport, Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli.
David Moffett was the driving force behind the birth of the regions in 2003 during his time as chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union.
But he insists the system he introduced has not worked, with the public failing to buy into it, and that it’s time to stop flogging a dead horse. He says he now understands the parochialism of Welsh rugby better than he did some two decades ago.
