At regional level the game is a disaster. Struggling to get results, small crowds, not as much money coming in from gates, TV or sponsors. Better offers for players to play in England or France. Welsh Regions do badly in the URC, or whatever its latest name is, and we always do badly in the European competition.
Without the strong base we have done marvelously well at international level (except against NZ), and all credit to the players and coaches, but it is always against the odds and I'm not sure that it will continue.
