'Welsh rugby has two choices - cut one of its clubs or face cataclysmic collapse. We must be brave and do the right thing': Wales rugby chief ABI TIERNEY hits back at 'toxic' abuse and insists one region must go to save the national sport

Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Abi Tierney has issued a stark warning that Welsh rugby faces 'cataclysmic collapse' unless one of its four domestic regional teams is cut. Tierney, responding to what she describes as 'toxic tactics' from her critics, insists the reduction from four to three regions is essential to the financial survival of the sport in Wales. She is calling for brave decision-making to implement the restructuring plan despite significant opposition.
