Dragons quit WRU meeting over 'not viable' pro plan


Dragons say Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) plans for the professional game are "not viable or desirable" after walking out of a meeting with the governing body.

The Rodney Parade club's chairman David Wright and chief executive Rhys Blumberg left shortly after the start of discussions with the WRU at Principality Stadium on 6 November.

Blumberg has since held talks with the Union as Dragons' representative at Professional Rugby Board (PRB) meetings.

The WRU has proposed cutting one of the current four professional men's teams – Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys, Scarlets – by 2027, and potentially by the start of next season.

There is set to be one in the west, one in Cardiff and one in the east, but Dragons have major concerns over the Union's demand to take control of rugby matters and leave clubs with just the commercial responsibilities.
