| 10/28/25 | WRU Consultation Ends: One Region to Go | With Seimon Williams | This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by top Welsh rugby writer Seimon Williams to break down the end of the WRU’s consultation period and the headline decision that one of Wales’s professional regions will be cut. Is it really a shootout between the Scarlets and the Ospreys, or is there more going on behind the scenes? Ged and Seimon dig into what the decision means for the regional game, the national team, and the long-term sustainability of Welsh rugby. They also explore the development pathway crisis: will a centralised national academy nurture elite talent and bridge the gap between school, semi-pro, and regional rugby? With funding pressures mounting and squads thinning, can the WRU find a model that actually develops players rather than losing them abroad? From the future of West Wales rugby to the wider vision for player development in Wales, this episode asks whether cutting a region will really fix anything — or just make the challenges even greater.

| 10/8/25 | Welsh Rugby’s Crossroads: Regional Restructure & R360 Fallout | With Christian Nicholas (The Welsh Sports Channel) | In this episode of The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by Christian Nicholas from The Welsh Sports Channel to make sense of another chaotic chapter in Welsh rugby. They dive deep into the WRU’s regional restructuring proposals, from four unequal regions to the possibility of three or even two elite sides, and what that means for players, fans, and the game’s future. The conversation also explores the potential role of Super Rygbi Cymru (SRC) as a bridge between grassroots rugby and the professional level, and whether it can help reconnect Welsh rugby with its supporter base. Then attention turns to the latest developments around Mike Tindall’s proposed R360 breakaway league, which hit major resistance as nine national unions announced bans for players who sign up. Could this radical idea reshape global rugby, or is it destined to collapse under the weight of politics and power? From funding models and fan frustration to the global tug-of-war over the sport’s future, Ged and Christian break down where Welsh rugby goes next, and what it will take to fix it.

We explore whether Dave Redding is betting it all on this plan, the potential impact of Super Rygbi Cymru, and what the changes could mean for the women’s game in Wales.
