How to make Welsh rugby work going forward: We want your views

There has been growing concern in recent times about the state of Welsh rugby beneath international level and what the future holds.

The regions are in the middle of another tough season, and none of them made it to the knockout stages of the Champions Cup - losing all 11 games they played amid plenty of Covid disruption to their schedule.

Welsh regional bosses have called for change in how the professional game is run - see their comments here - when it has been at such odds with the relative success of the national side for some time.

But heavy defeats for Wayne Pivac's Wales senior team and the U20s on the opening weekend of the Six Nations sparked more calls for action, with worries around the standard of talent coming through.

Despite victories of Scotland last time out, Jonathan Davies has accused the WRU of failing Wales' youngsters and called for leadership and a clear plan.

So, what needs to change to revive men's Welsh professional rugby?

Wales Women have only just gone professional, of course, and are the only pro women's team in Wales after heavy criticism of the WRU and claims of a lack of support in recent years resulted in historic full-time and semi-pro contracts at the turn of 2022 and the resurrection of women's pathway routes like U18s and, in the near future, U20s.

As for men's rugby, how many professional regional teams should Wales have? Should north Wales have its own? And is it time for the WRU to invest more money into the pro game?

What needs to change to encourage more fans to attend live pro Welsh rugby?

We want to hear your answers on the above and more as we look ahead to what the future holds for Welsh rugby.
