Welsh rugby has a habit of lurching from one crisis to another; a pattern that has existed for generations but has reached unprecedented levels during the professional era.
At the heart of the latest debate is a deceptively simple question: how many professional teams can Wales realistically sustain?
The argument has largely divided into two camps. One side believes Welsh rugby can continue to support four professional clubs while the other believes the number must be reduced, perhaps to three or even two.
But beneath the arguments about geography, tradition and identity sits the one factor that ultimately dictates success in modern sport.
Money.
