Wayne Pivac's plan to rip up Welsh regional landscape with two main teams and a new side

Wayne Pivac has given an insight into how he would have redrawn the map of Welsh professional rugby.

The New Zealander coached Wales for three years before being relieved of his position last December. He had previously enjoyed a successful spell with the Scarlets which saw them win the PRO 12 title in 2017 and reach a Heineken Champions Cup semi-final a year later.

But talk of revisiting the regional settlement in Wales has been in the air for a long time as the Welsh game tries to make the figures add up, and Pivac admitted to having had his own view on the way forward, involving two well-funded teams, covering Cardiff and a merged entity further west, and two other sides, the Dragons and a team in north Wales, feeding into them.
