A potential merger between the URC and the English Premiership, split into two divisions with promotion and relegation, is reportedly under serious consideration as both competitions explore ways to boost future broadcasting deals., neither the URC nor the Premiership has achieved the commercial success it desires, prompting talks between key figures from both competitions and private equity firm CVC, which owns significant stakes in both leagues.
Another possibility is an Anglo-Welsh conference within the URC. In this model, Wales’ four professional clubs—Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys, and Scarlets—would primarily face English sides during the season before joining the playoffs. While Welsh clubs favour this approach for its reduced travel, rekindling of historic rivalries, and the more level playing field created by England’s salary cap, there’s disagreement among English clubs. Some prefer regular fixtures against heavyweight Irish provinces, while others are keen on limiting the involvement of South African and Italian teams.
