1/10 🧵 The WRU has released further evidence supporting its decision to reduce Welsh rugby from four regions to three. Having looked through the report, I think there are serious questions about how this decision has been reached.

🚨 The WRU has published a new microsite futurerugby.cymru which is home to progress reports, detailed documents and supporting evidence behind its future operating model for the men's professional game in Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👇 ▶️ wru.wales/2026/10/wru-shares… ▶️ wru.wales/2026/10/undeb-rygb…

Listening to @BBCScrumV shows how vital these games are. Yet WRU continues killing a region w/o grasping repercussions. Predicting another £18m loss next FY. What happens if it’s worse than last? @WelshRugbyUnion can you hear us now? #EGM #VONC

Yikes, 13 days to go to the Japan game and I expected sales to be bleak but not quite this bleak. Pretty obvious that those back rows of the upper tier have been taken off sale too. 61k for the same fixture last season, the drop off seems stark unless there's a big late take-up.

Wow, that’s a merger nobody saw coming. This circus needs to be stopped now.

Interesting view from Martin Anayi CEO of URC, after the Ospreys v Dragons game.

The WRU board must resign. Net assets have collapsed from £44.2m to just £6.8m in three years, with a £17.7m annual loss and £126m in net debt.

You cannot cut your way to success. The WRU needs a strategy for growth, not managed decline. Those responsible for overseeing this financial deterioration cannot be trusted to deliver that future. It's time for accountability. The board must go.

@WelshRugbyUnion can’t you get it into your thick skulls that fans are walking away because of you? Your utter incompetence and mismanagement is why our game is in trouble. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! Tierney and Co, must step down now.

What an evening! Well done to all. Getting her this far. Im hearing rumours of a new stand with a 4000 capacity in May 27. Can anyone confirm this?

Worry about winning games over attendances.
Dean Richards@deancurlzOct 24
I know the weather crap, but for your first game back in St Helens. Poor effort for the ospreys fans, but they'll say it was sell out

Only caught the last 5 minutes of the game but to get a try chalked off and then concede another one is heartbreaking for the Scarlets.

If the WRU was a public listed company, its share price would be in the toilet right now and shareholders would be banging on the door asking what the board and exec are going to do about it. The WRU needn't worry, because their shareholders don't appear to care.

🚨 Breaking: Welsh Rugby Union financial report for year ending June 2026 shows annual loss of £18million. Gavin Marshall: 'This has been a challenging financial year. Whilst we have grown revenue, our costs have increased faster & our financial performance has declined.' 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💸

They should have used this money to pay themselves out.
Nicks Johnston@nicksjjOct 23
Absolutely this. I’d also love to know exactly how much has been and is being spent on external consultants and exactly what their remit is. Because if they’re spending money to justify decisions already made, the Board should stand down immediately.

This feels like a pinnacle moment. So many feel exactly like this, and it’s clear with over 81,000 tickets unsold. It’s disastrous. They should have stepped down when they failed to get the regions to sign PRA25. It’s gone on far too long. Well done Hayley!
