Remember when Rugby Union became professional, we were about 10 years behind compered
to the Southern Hemispheres, and we are still playing catch up.
The structure of professional game, has not been easy in Wales we lost some regions through
simply the clubs not big enough to generate money to survive.
Rugby Union in this Country suffered for being a armature game, the posh boy's did not like money
tarnishing there sport, were in truth players were being paid it was a stupid to stay armature for
far to long.
They should have taken a leaf out of Rugby League, and just paid there players and become professional years before they did.
I like both codes of Rugby a tough game played by tough men, they deserve to be well paid but in
comparison to footballers, they are paid very little.
