There are few people better qualified to talk about the state of Welsh rugby than Scarlets general manager Jon Daniels.
He may not be a household name but Daniels, who set up the Scarlets academy from scratch back in 2000, has been at the cutting edge of rugby in Wales for over two decades.
Daniels is a quietly influential figure in the game as chair of the Rugby Management Board which puts him around the Professional Rugby Board table, while he also sits on the European Professional Club Rugby, and the United Rugby Championship sporting regulatory committees.
