Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel says he "can't imagine Welsh rugby" without the Llanelli-based side.

The Scarlets' future is under scrutiny with the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) considering an option to reduce the number of Welsh professional teams from four to two.

The WRU are looking at plans that could disband the existing sides – Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets – and replace them with two new entities.
