“There are many different opportunities,” Gilpin said. “Can we bring regular season and other games? Can we bring some TRC games? Can we bring in the future Six Nations games here?
“There are more possibilities we want to explore, and we are looking at how we can collectively incentivise during this five-year runway. Not only will all those unions benefit from the experience and the commercial opportunity, but we will build a rugby audience here which will deliver a brilliant 2031 success for us all.”

“This is infuriating. Turning rugby into R360 probably isn't the solution.”
“As if a day in Cardiff isn’t expensive enough already! Lunatics running the asylum.”
“Get in the f***ing bin.”
“Another f***ing silly idea.”
“What a load of bollocks. I don’t care if Americans want to watch it — they should have to come here.”
