What are Welsh sides' chances for new URC season?
BBC Sport Wales looks at the prospects for Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets in the 2026-27 United Rugby Championship season.
All four Welsh clubs enter the 2026-27 URC season with aspirations of reaching the play-offs. Cardiff, last season's best Welsh representative in the top eight, aim to build on their progress under head coach Corniel van Zyl. Ospreys, currently 11th, seek to improve their away game and secure a stronger finish. Scarlets, finishing 14th last season, need significant improvement to challenge for play-off spots. Dragons, the fourth Welsh club, must also demonstrate consistent performance to compete for the top eight.
