THE Welsh Rugby Union and the four regions have buried the hatchet after their long-running row over the future of the professional game.
The two parties have reached agreement on the establishment of a new Professional Regional Game Board to improve the financial situation of regional rugby in Wales.
​
It will start work straightaway. High Court judge Sir Wyn Williams has been made the independent, non-voting chairman of the body which consists of five members from the WRU, one from each of the regions and one representative from Regional Rugby Wales.
It will look at issues such as player contracts and recruitment, academy structures and marketing. RRW chief executive Stuart Gallacher, said: “This is an encouraging step. All four regions have made significant progress towards establishing a sustainable business platform over the last two years and hope to be able to build on that work with the support of the WRU.

“I am confident it will be an active and meaningful forum through which positive changes can be achieved.
“Our aim is to ensure we use our combined expertise and knowledge to develop the right systems and structures.
“The creation of the Professional Regional Game Board is testimony to our determination to work together in the best interests of the regional game in Wales.”
