Cardiff and the Ospreys will merge to form a superclub.

Called Cardiff?

Yeah, anything is possible now. I can see Cardiff getting extra funding from the WRU to become the defacto superclub (with ensuing mutiny from the rest of Wales). If the WRU can find someone with more money than sense to sell Cardiff to, things could remain in the four regions on insufficient funding situation. And one or both of the Scarlets and Ospreys could collapse, being dropped by the WRU. Who knows if the WRU have a secret plan or no real room to manoeuvre outside of the status quo.

Who know if this is just hardball? Or set in stone?

Although WOL 'understands' the WRU intend to move to a three team model, all they say is they are moving away from an evenly funded four team model, so an unevenly funded four team model is still possible. As is anything really . . .
