      He’s single handedly done as much as anyone to promote rugby in the US

        Massive credit to him for giving his dream a go. Shame it didn't work out but your always going to be up against it when trying to enter a mammoth talent pool at the mid career point.

          Added bonus for new Welsh coach Steve Tandy having LRZ available again.
          Nice to see him back in Rugby.

            I think it great news, and credit tp LRZ gave it a try, and perhaps didn't work as he hoped.

                      I do hope it turns out well.
                      Having a "new brand" (at least relatively new to rugby) entering the fray and doing well could do wonders for the game.

                                  @MiketheSnow With the new investment from House of Luxury LLC what is the possibility that Scarlets break away and join the English Premiership should the WRU cut the number of processional team to just the two and Llanelli not being the base for one of them?

                                    If there was a merging they’d want it to be Cardiff

                                      @MiketheSnow I would have thought three professional teams makes sense: one in Swansea, one in Cardiff, one in Newport.

                                        Except Newport (Dragons) are the worst region with the lowest attendances

                                        When the WRU say they’re proposing losing two teams that’s not strictly the case

                                        We’re losing two men’s teams and replacing them with two women’s teams

                                          The Ospreys and the Scarlets have already started legal action against the Welsh Rugby Union. What an absolutely farcical situation.
