Sam Warburton advocates cutting a Welsh rugby team

express.co.uk

Wales rugby is seeking a new director of rugby and head coach after losing all five matches in the Six Nations. Sam Warburton has called for the Welsh Rugby Union to consider cutting one regional team to improve the player pool. Warburton argues that reducing the number of teams from four to three could help consolidate talent and create a more competitive environment. He emphasizes the need for open discussions about potential mergers among teams to address systemic issues in Welsh rugby. The call for change follows a series of 17 consecutive Test defeats, including a significant loss to England. Warburton insists that without decisive action, the current situation will not improve, and a long-term strategy is essential for future success.
