Details have emerged about which clubs are set to be in which divisions under the controversial league restructuring in Welsh rugby.

The WRU have sent all their member clubs a copy of the league set-up for next season for them to consider and give their views.

The restructuring is one of the main issues which will be up for discussion at the EGM which former WRU chief executive David Moffett has forced through after receiving sufficient support from clubs.

Under the Union plan, there is set to be a radical revamp of the league format, with clubs down the divisions particularly affected.

The most contentious element of the shake-up has been the grouping of all 147 clubs in Divisions Four, Five and Six in one new section, made up of 13 divisions.

As part of the original WRU blueprint, clubs were to be assigned a division based on geography, with the idea being to address issues of cost and time spent travelling, while also creating more local derbies.

But concern was expressed over potential mismatches, with current Division Six sides having to go up against teams now in Division Four.

This led to disquiet over player safety, while there were suggestions that some lower level clubs could struggle to put out sides or might even look to dip down to District level.

The WRU responded to these concerns by stressing there would be an element of meritocracy, as well as proximity, involved in the restructuring.

Now, the clubs are able to see exactly what the Union have come up with.

Under the restructuring, there will be no changes to the Premiership or Championship, but below that there will be a major shake-up.

There will be four 12-team sections at Division One, comprising the 48 clubs in the old Divisions One and Two.

Similarly, there will be four 12-club leagues in Division Two, made up of the 48 sides at the existing Division Three level.

And then comes the significantly expanded Division Three, which will comprise the 48 clubs at old Division Four level, the 60 Division Five clubs and the 39 from Division Six.

These 147 clubs will be split into 13 sections, covering East, East Central, West Central and West.

Up in north Wales, there will be three divisions as now, with minor tinkering in terms of numbers.

In a letter to the clubs accompanying the new league structure, WRU administration manager Martyn Rees explains the process that has has taken place and outlines the Union's position.

"We are all well aware of the concerns expressed by some clubs about the effect of the new league system and the consequent decision to have this issue debated within the forum of an Extraordinary General Meeting of the WRU," said Rees.

"Therefore, it is vitally important that you study the league document in detail in order to take an informed view of its impact on the season ahead for your club and the benefit of the whole game in Wales.

"We all realise it is impossible for any radical change to achieve unanimous support across our club structure, but it is the view of the WRU that the structure as proposed addresses in a reasonable manner all the issues which have been raised.

"It is vital when you consider the structure that you remember the call for change originated from a number of clubs who expressed concerns about the league structure as it stood.

"Those concerns included, but were not limited to, travel costs, travel time commitments on players and volunteers and the desire to restore local derby matches in the best interests of the game."

Rees says the Union moved to modify the plans after the degree of concern among clubs became apparent when WRU president Dennis Gethin, chairman David Pickering and chief executive Roger Lewis visited each district early this year.

"As a direct result of the representation made by clubs it was agreed to apply meritocracy across the leagues, without resulting in an adverse financial impact on travel costs and wherever possible maintaining as many local derby fixtures as possible," he said.
