Re: Just one Welsh team in the ECC next year
We provided all the league sponsors to date and are the reason why Sky came on board. The Gwladtards are delusional idiots. 1). Where are Rabodirect and Guinness based then? 2) How much do they pay? 3). Sky came on board because of the Irish? How modest. Some laughable statements made! :lol: Sky ca...

Re: Just one Welsh team in the ECC next year
Because the Irish barely contribute a penny piece to the league. We are subsidising them and for what gain? It's time Welsh rugby puts the game in Wales first. It's not just that. Ulster's stadium was funded by the UK Taxpayer, but they don't like to talk about it. And if we talk about it, we're la...

Just one Welsh team in the ECC next year
Just one team, the Sgarlets, to contest the ECC. Also, no Welsh sides will contest the play-offs in the Pro12 which just emphasises the financial disparity between the Welsh sides and the Irish and Jocks. So yeah, once again the PrO'12 - a league that has been subsidised a great deal by Welsh monies...

Hopefully the Ospreys get the win. It would be a great story if a Welsh region gets a top four place considering the financial disparity between them and the Irish teams.

Another assembly election, and more Welsh labour dominance. Not enough dominance to get a majority but enough to probably run as a minority.
