We must drop to three.

A strong Dragons, Cardiff and West wales reejun will rejuvenate the game in Wales.
What does a strong Dragons side look like?

2 wins in a season?

Re: Black Lion to the URC? Game's gone...

The problem with the URC is a lack of salary cap which allows moneybag teams like Leinster to buy their success

That and the atrocious refereeing standards (with an added dash of Irish-centric, group-think mentality)
