Alun Wyn Jones says it is hard to deny the "very real" possibility of Wales players striking ahead of their Six Nations match against England, but insists it is "the very last option" for beleaguered stars.
Head coach Warren Gatland said he would not support his players if they decided to strike ahead of the England match, but did confirm he was supportive of their stance and had urged them to have a stronger voice over the years.
The Welsh game has been rocked by the news players will meet to discuss possible strike action amid the ongoing uncertainty over their futures. The threat of the clash with England being in doubt has only intensified after senior players met with the Welsh Rugby Union on Wednesday - giving them a week to resolve their dispute with a list of demands.
