The prospect of an Anglo-Welsh league is off the table after initial discussions between the URC and Premiership Rugby officials failed to produce a workable agreement.

In recent talks, both competitions explored ideas to boost their appeal in future broadcasting deals, recognizing that neither the URC nor the Premiership has achieved the commercial success they’re aiming for.

Another idea on the table was a two-division structure, blending teams from the URC and Premiership and introducing promotion and relegation.The sticking points appear to be both the commercial viability of an Anglo-Welsh structure and the involvement of four Welsh clubs, which some English sides reportedly feel is excessive.
