WRU deliver news to regions as axed team to be chosen in months after new advice

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has set a March deadline to decide which of Wales' four professional regional teams will be axed as part of its plan to reduce to three professional sides. The WRU is not backing down on the three-team strategy, and any new chair appointed will be required to support the plan. The decision on which team will be cut is expected to be made within months, with west Wales set to have only one team going forward.
