• Calls handling of ‘Project Reset’ ‘nothing short of chaotic’
Welsh regional rugby has been plunged into turmoil off the field by the fallout from leaked plans to merge the Ospreys and Scarlets. As Warren Gatland announced his team to take on Scotland, two matches away from a third grand slam under his tenure, the Ospreys chairman, Mike James, was tendering his resignation at a crucial meeting over the future of the domestic game in Cardiff.
The meeting of the Professional Rugby Board is a key milestone as part of the so-called “Project Reset”, a major overhaul of the regional structure led by the WRU. Wales’ PRB comprises representatives from the Welsh Rugby Union, Scarlets, Ospreys, Dragons and Cardiff Blues.
