Thread: The times they are a changing?

    The times they are a changing?

    Scrum Five scrapped after 30 years, but does this mean that there’s just going to be a new show on BBC to replace it?

    There needs to be an Anglo/Welsh league to save rugby in Wales imo. Back in days of the amateur game, Welsh clubs were playing the best teams in the whole of the UK. Professional rugby, in its current format is a house of cards. More expensive. Fewer matches and a sense of local detachment. I stopped watching when they changed the club format in Wales.

    I'm not a fan of the BBC but I get why it's going the way of iPlayer tbh.

The podcast used to be weekly throughout the season and focus on the 4 football league teams plus internationals. Now it sounds like they are just doing them for international games.

    Trouble is that England don't want or need it. They have enough teams and players to manage on their own.
    The result being the Celtic/URC league.

    Absolutely. Better still a British Isles league. Two professional leagues with promotion and relegation would be a genuinely big deal, probably could average 20,000 crowds and be a real pull. Rugby is very poor at growing itself really.

    As for Scrum V. I hope it's replaced with something similar.

    Not in Wales they won't average crowds like that.

    I think they would significantly increase. But I mean a league with Leicester, Leinster, Munster, Northampton, Cardiff, Bath etc

    Would be a big deal

    Yeah but why would those clubs want poorly supported Welsh Rugby Regions in their league.?

    The fact is there is little appetite to watch rugby in Wales unless it's 6 Nations Day.

    I'm sure the Welsh Premier Football clubs attendances would increase if Cardiff Swansea and Wrexham were in it. But it isn't happening.

    At least one English club sees future potential playing rugby in Wales
