With the consultation process wrapping up, the WRU is under pressure to decide how to move forward. Director of rugby, Dave Reddin, initially suggested cutting down to two union-controlled teams. But with many fans and clubs expressing their love for the current four-team setup, the WRU might have to reconsider. The challenge? Finding a middle ground that pleases everyone.

CEO Abi Tierney hinted earlier that a tender process could be on the cards if consensus isn’t reached. This could mean teams bidding for precious licences, a move that’s bound to stir even more debate and tension among stakeholders. With so much at stake, supporters, club officials, and even politicians are gearing up to make their voices heard.
