It has been five weeks since my last post “Rugby Roulette
Welsh Style” where I lamented the lack of progress in sorting out the running
sore that is the argument between the Welsh Rugby Union and the Welsh Regions. Has
any progress been made I wonder? I am certainly not aware of any movements but
then communication is not the WRU’s strong point.
I did hear that two of the better Welsh players; Sam Warburton
and Adam Jones are not featuring for the Welsh Regions. This cannot be right.
Both have been great servants to Welsh rugby and are now pawns in the
stalemate. The season is only a couple of weeks away now and we seem to have
got absolutely nowhere. Can all those involved please get off their high horses
and sort it out before irreparable damage is done to the game so many of us
love.
On a more positive note, Pontypool ’s
preparations for the new season seem to be going well. It is pleasing to see
the excellent level of communication between the club and the fans. WRU take
note! The friendly against Carmarthen Quins on Friday will be a good yardstick
to judge the team’s readiness to take on all comers in the Championship.
