The Welsh Regional Debate

The landscape of Welsh rugby is in turmoil right now. While the national team are on a winning streak never before seen in the Land of St. David the regional structure is cracking at the foundations. The WRU are in the process of finalising a new agreement with the regions, focused on handling the finances of the game above all. This has led to a lot of debate on social media and in newspapers in the last week. Now I'm putting forth my thoughts.

I will put forward a small disclaimer. I do not know the details for the money being discussed, and even if I did I probably wouldn't understand what they mean. What is here is my thoughts on the regions, and the WRU's plans to change the look of professional club rugby in Wales.

The regions could be about to undergo the biggest shift in their history, as the WRU looks to build a long term plan.

Quick Tap: Six Nations Week 3 Round Up

The middle week of the Six Nations served up the game of the tournament so far, serving up a middle finger to World Rugby wanting to dispose of the championship. Either side of the monumental clash in Cardiff, France piled on to Scotland's woes, and Ireland did the minimum required in Rome. Read on to find my less obvious takeaways from each game, in this week's Quick Tap.

When Adams crossed the line Cardiff went crazy, and the 2019 Tournament was blown wide open.

England's Three Thorns

What a difference a year makes, after slumping to their worst ever finish in the Six Nations in 2018, England are back to their rip-roaring best, full of swagger, and dominant at the top of the table heading into Round 3. The revival has come about by rediscpvering what made them great under Eddie Jones when he first took over and then turning it up another notch. So what exactly is England's game plan, and what is making it so hard to stop at the moment?

England a roaring once again, lead by a beautiful centre combination in Tuilagi and Slade.
