Dai Young is resigned to losing star centre Max Llewellyn at the end of the season and expects more players to leave the Welsh game over the coming weeks and months.
As exclusively revealed by Wales Online Llewellyn has opted to leave Cardiff having signed for a club in the Gallagher Premiership and is one of many players to have become disillusioned by the current state of Welsh rugby.
There is currently a freeze on offering new contracts to players in Wales with the Welsh Rugby Union and the four regions at loggerheads over the future direction of the game in this country. Both parties have verbally agreed a six-year funding framework but the freeze remains until is is officially signed.
