Dydd Mawrth, unfed ar ddeg ar
hugain, Rhag. 2013 Tuesday 31st. December
So the Welsh Rugby Union have told the Welsh regional teams that if they do
not sign the Participation Agreement by the end of today,they will cease to exist (apparently).
Cease to exist as what?
Regional teams affiliated to
the WRU? However, let’s indulge in a little speculation. As the WRU would be
obliged to put teams into the Rabo and the Heineken Cup, but would not be
paying out £6m+ to the existing regions, they could pump the money back into
the top clubs like Ponty. We could return to true local representation with
promotion to the top flight based on merit and ability. (I will never….I will
never…etc., not as long as I have a hole in my aspirin bottle). Thousands of
real rugby union fans might no longer feel disenfranchised.
I have heard it said that
there is no direct translation of the word ‘crisis’ in Chinese (which
dialect?). It would seem that the closest translation would be ‘opportunity/?’.
I like that idea. Perhaps, as
far as the regional rugby debacle is concerned, this might represent an
opportunity to resume normal service and return to sanity. Discuss.
This being the last day of
2013, I hope you have good things to remember and be thankful for.
