Just as all good things have to come to an end, so bad things tend to eventually stop as well. The Welsh regions will hope so.
But maybe things will have to get worse for Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets before they get better.
The rugby season for the professional teams in Wales ended around 7.30pm on Saturday evening when the Scarlets bowed out of the European Challenge Cup at the semi-final stage. Glasgow Warriors were the better side in Llanelli — it’s hard to argue against a 5-1 try count in their favour — but the hosts were hammered by injuries, with Javan Sebastian, Johnny Williams, Vaea Fifita and Morgan Jones forced off during the game.
