The four Welsh regions have announced their support for the new European rugby tournament proposed by English Aviva Premiership and French Top 14 teams.
The Cardiff Blues, Scarlets, Ospreys and Newport-Gwent Dragons released the following statement via Regional Rugby Wales.
Regional Rugby Wales (RRW) on behalf of the four Welsh regions confirms its full support for the proposed new Rugby Champions Cup Competitions.
Whilst there remain elements of detail to be confirmed, it is now clear that there are a number of significant advantages to the new competitions in equality of governance, format, qualification and distribution across the individual participating clubs.
Consequently, RRW looks forward to working with the WRU to support their efforts and positive engagement in striving to ensure our teams are involved in strong, valuable European clubs competitions in time for next season.
