Wales head coach Wayne Pivac suggested he was open-minded when it came to Welsh rugby’s crunch decision to slash a region.
The game in Wales was embroiled in its latest round of chaos recently when proposals to axe a region for the betterment of the sport at large emerged. Those running the game have since moved to dampen the prospect of that scenario ever coming to pass and insist it was one of a number of proposals under consideration.
The Dragons, who were thrown into the firing line as front-runners to be axed, have vociferously opposed the suggestion. One of the points made by their head coach Dean Ryan was that a reduction in the player pool would harm the prospects of the national team in the long run.
