My Views On Scottish And Welsh Rugby Pro And International Sides.
For Wales.
I think Wales have had a good century as an international side, and I think that comes from having the pro regional sides. The pro sides develop the talented Welsh players.
Some people seem to think that the only point in the regional sides, is to win trophies. But I think the main priority is to develop talented Welsh players who can play for the Welsh international side.
Also, every Wales qualified player should be available regardless of which league they play in.
Do not avoid players playing in French or English rugby club sides.
The main priority of the Welsh regions should be to develop a conveyor belt of talent. And it should be looked on as a positive when Welsh players move from the regions to the French or English league as it opens up a new opportunity for a Welsh player in the Welsh region sides.
Also I think Wales should use a London Welsh side to help develop players.
Also keep the Welsh regions in the URC.
And keep having a strong Welsh rugby divisional system.
For Scotland.
Have the pro sides. But I also think ideas could be;
Use London Scottish to develop players.
Invest in the Scottish second string team to play tier 3 or tier 2 nations. That could develop more players for international rugby union.
