WRU chiefs have said the process to decide the framework for the final decision will begin in December and finish before the end of the 2026-27 campaign.<\/p>\n
Daniels believes there is scope to continue with four Welsh regions, and would like the WRU to explain its rationale for removing a team in the west.<\/p>\n
“From a club perspective, we feel that the decision, and the justification, for moving from four to three needs more work,” Daniels added.<\/p>\n
“I understand that there is data which has been used to come up with this decision. It hasn’t been shared. We will really call for transparency in that discussion.<\/p>\n
“These are decisions that are going to have a long-lasting effect, not just on rugby, but on communities in west Wales. I think that needs a proper airing publicly.”<\/p>\n
He added: “Our position is that before you can come out and make statements which have such an impact on people in Wales, I still feel there is a discussion and justification needed for the move to reduce the number of teams.<\/p>\n
“Welsh rugby should be able to accommodate four teams, just as they do in Ireland and other countries. <\/p>\n
“If there is data and evidence that we can’t, then let’s have the discussion about how you reduce the number of teams.<\/p>\n
“Even then, I think we would struggle to see how that should be isolated to the west and not be a broader Welsh rugby challenge to face.”<\/p>\n
Daniels says it is Scarlets’ duty to ensure the uncertainty surrounding them does not creep into their on-field performance.<\/p>\n
Instead, he feels the WRU’s current stance should unite Scarlets and wants to see everyone, players, supporters and staff, fighting for their future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
