The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) faces its own crossroads. WRU CEO Abi Tierney has warned that Welsh rugby must “do something different” to stop declining fan numbers.
The union plans a formal consultation with its four professional clubs—Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys, and Scarlets—considering cutting the number of teams from four to two. This proposal, while aiming to strengthen the game, risks alienating thousands of passionate fans across the country.
