Default What is happening to Welsh Rugby?

Shanklin injured - 12 weeks.
Henson injured - minimum 6 weeks (don't knock it just yet).
Andrew Bishop - upto 8 weeks.
Richie Rees banned - Cardiff did not appeal
Osprey pooh! - consider all their "star" players.
Blues pooh! - see above.
Dragons - overlooked.
Scarlets - possibly the only team who can get through to the 1/4's of the Heineken Cup (with the weakest scrum due to injury).
Sean Holley wondering why he should keep Byrne because him and the rest of the "stars" will spend loads of time away in the World Cup in 2011.
James Hook - gone because he's been played out of position and £750,000 to play in France is good news.
Adam Jones - injured again
The Scarlets have let their Wales under 20's fly half go to London Irish on Contract.
Will Gatland bite the bullet and pick non-Resident players?

The list goes on.

Compared to kissball they are still paid peanuts, take more risks and have shorter careers.

All the regions are out of the Heineken Cup. Let's hope they can pull it together for the Big 6.

At least he's shaken the tree a bit with Peel and Powell back in favour and the selection of Rhys Priestland over Biggar.
