Rewind twenty years and both our club sides and national team were in a mess. At least our national team has been competitive in recent times. Having said that the regions are a mess and many supporters particularly in the valleys have been disinfranchised.Originally Posted by Nick
It was always going to be difficult for Welsh rugby when the game went pro. The upside was that our players no longer had to turn to rugby League to make their money. The downside was that we were never going to compete with the English and French club sides who could lure our best players with huge financial packages.
There are no obvious answers and I do fear the national team is in decline and we could be about to begin a depressing period for the game in Wales.
