Into administration and a takeover by the WRU who I thought didn't have any maoney!!!!
Cardiff Rugby will declare their intention to go into administration with the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) in line for a takeover of the regional side.
The Welsh professional rugby team has served a notice of intent (NOI) to appoint an administrator.

Pro rugby is unsustainable but lets have matches in Qatar.

Sounds like the end for one region!
Welsh rugby on brink of civil war as two clubs miss latest PRA25 deadline
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) have confirmed the Scarlets and Ospreys are still yet to sign up to the new Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA25), and have now issued a two-year notice on the current deal.
As a result, it seems likely that the governing body will cut one of the four Welsh regions, despite CEO Abi Tierney insisting the outlook was to maintain four professional sides in Wales.

So it's the only two who have shown any glimmer of being a half decent rugby team who are in trouble?

That's Welsh rugby summed up.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

WRU places the last nail in the coffin of Welsh rugby.
