WRU'ing AGM

Apparently, it was announced at todays WRU AGM that the WRU are going to be taking a stake in all 4 regions. Have to see the finer details, but what could possibly go wrong with that!

Edit to add that its apparently not a done deal for the WRU'ing to take a 20% share in the teams. If thats the case, why state that to the press?

I am no fan of the WRU. But we are only still alive because of a handful of individuals and we have to put our faith in them to make the right call for our future. Unless we intend chucking tens of millions in ourselves we have to rely on their judgement to secure our future.

I agree. The shame being, the new makeup of the WRU appear as clueless as the previous lot.

A skip read of the annual report throws up no mention of this and it was rejected pretty forcibly just 3 weeks ago. They can't just "take a stake" in privately owned companies anyway.

They can if the company consents and they offer money for it it may not be in the report but the Chairman announced it

If I belonged to any of those businesses I'd want that lot as far away as possible.

Not really practical Tommy. We have to learn to work with them and get our own house in order at the same time. Our attack structure is light years behind what is being developed. Attacks now go off the nine to create gain line success and have width. Outside of possibly Hardy who we have not seen enough of our stable of 9’s are nowhere near good enough and the attack is too narrow.

I understand that, but I hold the WRUin with nothing but disdain. Yes, we need them onside but I would not trust them with a bag of peanuts. I hope, whatever happens, like us all, is for the betterment of the Ospreys and Welsh rugby. But looking back in history, I have no confidence in them whatsoever.
