Ealing Trailfinders negotiating to join the WRU / URC

If the RFU don't want them then they are looking to play elsewhere.

I have my opinions how the Premiership should look and how Ealing will fit into that and how the game can grow naturally so hopefully this is just a negotiating tool.

Only saw him play the once, Coventry came to Cardiff in 1977 I think, remember getting his autograph before the game, he was happy to chat to some kids and smiled when we called him Dai Duckham, I think he’d heard it before but he was loved in Wales.
