Paper talk but that would be me done with Welsh Rugby at any level! In other words Cardiff( great region) would just ramsack our team. We have absolutely nothing in common and as regions and Cities polar opposites. We continue to be the poor relation in this area. Honestly I would rather merge with the Turks and that's saying something. At least we would keep first class Rugby in South West Wales and be able to develop players.

Amen.
It would be like joining Liverpool and Everton.
I read Rugby could be done in five years .
It’s possible
Rugby League has big problems
Not forgetting the racist,homophobic mega rich Saudis looking to take football over mainly as the game is greedy
Ronaldo on 175million pa should not happen,yet I read it’s a short career etc,which is abject . | |

This comment after Wales u20s lost 21 20 to New Zealand. Ospreys players excelling themselves.
Well done to our U20s for a fantastic performance against the odds (a lot of us feared a cricket score defeat beforehand). But the elephant in the room is last nite's shocking story which appeared in various news outlets. Let us be clear here what is being proposed isnt a 'merger'...it would see the ospreys swallowed whole by Cardiff. The team would play in cardiff and be called 'Cardiff' 😡. It would mean an area which includes great historic rugby clubs like swansea, neath and aberavon would not be represented in the professional game. If the Ospreys owners agree to this it would represent a unforgivable beytrayal of ospreys supporters and every rugby playing community and club in the region the ospreys are meant to represent | | | |

If any Welsh region should disappear it should be Newport. They have been whipping boys for as long as the regional system has been in existence. Absurd suggestion, merge with Cardiff ffs !! |  | | |

Would the Christians and Moslems form one religion.
Would the Protestants and Catholics go to the same Church on a Sunday in Northern Ireland.
To me this sounds similar but different to Cardiff kidnapping Glamorgan cricket. | | | |

Newport were decent in the 1950' and won the inaugural WRU Schweppes cup. After that fork all! Pontypool were the major force in Gwent and had a big following. | | | |

What a dull suggestion.
Scarlets and Ospreys would be better, if they can only fund 2 or 3 teams.
Indy Wales would have the economic success in the EU to fund 4 teams.
Thats for OHL. |  |

Indy Wales wouldn't be in the EU for a long time, we'd have nothing and nobody to turn to.
The other part is wrong too. Regional rugby is failing because the fans are not taking to the new regions. Neath fans hated playing in Swansea so stopped going.
if there are to be regions they should be new regions and the old clubs system put back in place. Then have a South West, South East and a central region with all 3 going to play in a combined English/Welsh/Scottish super league.
In my opinion. | | | |

I hated Swansea being attached to Neath.
What Jack would want a bunch of village tugs tagged to them.
We played in virtual black.
First and second city pre eminent,the rest are confetti.

Not the words i might use, but the bottom line is correct.
You start with Swansea and Cardiff.
And then decide how many other regions you can afford to fund. | |

The new regions have existed since 2003.
The old club game was nowhere near the regional pro level. Those days are gone.
A return to the club game will not result in big crowds like years ago. Those days are long gone. | |

Used to go to the Glen.
Not a great fan of them myself.
They hated Jacks.
No Llanelli person would refer to themselves as a Jack | |

The first line of the second paragraph sums everything that's wrong in Wales ,regardless of the topic it always falls back to sucking everything that Wales has into that one entity called the capital, nothing else matters be it sport , jobs , development transport or health care .
Swansea and its environs has a great sporting history be cricket ,rugby football etc the first ones gone to Cardiff ,the second is being discussed and for those with a longer memory didn't Sam at the scum thought only they should be considered as the only club of value | |

The real traditional strength of welsh cricket was always in the west .
Cardiff a nonentity.
And a putative capital of a United,independent Wales.
The very reason Wales should never go Indy .
Better we had Caernarfon as a capital . Imagine it. Coffis as capital cousins | |

The bottom line is that there just isn't enough interest in Rugby in the city to sustain a team at the highest level without massive subsidy from the WRU, subsidy which they're not getting any more. You can't expect to be a top side when you can barely quarter fill the stadium that you play in.
These days for most people in Wales Rugby is an excuse for a pissup on Six Nations days and nothing more. If the National team start struggling we'll be back at the point where tickets were being sold in Tesco. |  |

I've said before the WRU are itching to get rid of the Ospreys. The most successful region, the only attempt at a region and the side which continuosly supplies the most players to the Welsh system. It should really be Cardiff and Newport merging. Welsh Rugby seems to continuously get itself into a mess. | | | |
