This is the bottom line for Rugby 360. I predict that a ball will never be kicked and all that will come from it is that Tindall and his cronies will all trouser a couple hundred grand each.

Why are the places where the MCU heroes hang out always so... empty? Where did all the regular folk go anyway?

Prof John Curtice on R4 this morning saying that the people who want to vote for Reform are the same people who supported Brexit and Johnson. I mean even they must realise they've been wrong twice. Don't trust your own judgement lads!

theeastterrace.com/gwladrugby-o... Gwladrugby offers Welsh fans a survey to make their voices heard.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

The WRU don’t want to hear what fans really think. That’s why their survey ducks the big issues. We’ve made an alternative: unfiltered, uncensored, honest.
Fill it in here:
👉 s.surveyplanet.com/vdp8ehhe Your voice matters. Use it.

From the author who brought you "Welsh Rugby What went wrong" in collaboration with other Welsh Rugby fans. A survey by fans for the fans s.surveyplanet.com/vdp8ehhe

🚨 Welsh rugby is at a crossroads. The WRU’s survey avoids the tough questions – so we’ve made our own. 👉 Have YOUR say on governance, grassroots & the future of the game:
s.surveyplanet.com/vdp8ehhe This is our game. Let’s take it back. 🏉 #Gwladrugby

Thats more like it. Time for some concerted pushback dragonsrfc.wales/news/2025/se...

"Revenue generated by the British and Irish Lions rugby tour to Australia has helped the hosts to be debt-free for the first time since 2021. The nine-match, three-Test tour Down Under allowed Rugby Australia to pay off the £30m it owed Pacific Equity Partners having taken out a £39m loan in 2023."

So all four of their models require external funding Model A requires 4 people looking to put in £1.25m each Model B and C need 3 to put in £1.4m each Model D needs 2 people to put in £1.7m each Who wrote this plan?

The WRUs optimal solution will still require private investment of £1.7m per year per region. For that you will have no say over the rugby side of the business as that will be controlled by the WRU. Presumably you get to decide what canapés are served? www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Unsurprisingly Bishop is a fan of the WRU and 2 regions. share.google/a5GZmg50yWOG...

Le Tache has some thoughts. It's an interesting read. Facts are perhaps not his strong point. archive.ph/2025.08.23-2...

Ah the minefield of what fucking shades of colours to use so it can't possibly look like Cardiff/Llanelli/Scarlets/Ospreys/Newport.

With the potential loss of 2 Welsh teams and maybe all 4 from the URC how will that affect the finances? Lose all 4 Welsh teams and that reduces the total number of regular games per team to 14 with only 7 home games. Then when is the knock on effect for the TV rights in the UK?

Coming soon to a stadium near you...

It’s actually rather horrifying when you realize that technically, your entire digestive system is also the outside of your body. So topologically, we’re all secretly long fleshy tubed doughnuts.

The more I see, the more I’m sure Scarlets players are going to be offered “magic beans” in their contract negotiations.

What a mad week hopefully August will be nice and quiet. The WRU: Hold my beer

For years, people who rate Dai Moffett's contribution to Welsh rugby administration have overlooked what a nasty and deranged human being he is. I don't care if he was once instrumental in dragging Welsh rugby into the profession age. I don't want this scumbag anywhere near Welsh rugby in 2025.

There's a certain type of Welsh person for who where someone grew up is somehow their defining characteristic. This person is from Ponty, why would they be interested in the Scarlets. It's a very village way of looking at the world.

Every day, that demented old man makes the White House look even tackier, having workers glue gold-spray-painted polyurethane bric-a-brac to every available surface. Who knew it was even possible in the United States to stand out for your vulgarity?

The CEO who owns the company who bought into the Scarlets. This should be a fun time. www.linkedin.com/posts/kirsti...

Oh Christ the WRU are going to sell Cardiff to Mike Tindall as an R360 franchise aren't they. This is where it's all leading to. I was thinking about how the nightmare could possibly get worse and this is the only way.

In 2017 the competition income from Pro14 and EPCR was £9.2m Today it's £7.8m What the actual fuck

No test NZ players, Franchises in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, London, Los Angeles, Sao Paolo, Melbourne and Munich At the moment mainly Aus, Arg, Pacific Island and NZ players already in Europe www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/...

A tremendous yet dispiriting thread by Dan off That Gwladrugby. If PRL really have got bored and taken back any offer of places for Welsh clubs in their league, the game here is sunk anyway, and this consultation is a waste of everybody's time and effort.

There's been a bit of chatter about this - it's important in the context of the situation Welsh rugby now finds itself in. It dates more than a decade, to 2014, when Roger Lewis was the supreme ruler of the WRU. But not everything in the garden was rosy....
