RA funding - which was a pittance anyway - is likely to cease but that shouldn’t be a problem.
Junior clubs should be fine as most are integrated with a senior club that is a member of the WARU.
Irrespective of the financial clusterfuck that is RA, WA rugby at both senior and junior level can only go from strength to strength.
Long live the Republic of Westralia!!
