After years of being pulled in different directions and not having enough hours in the day, Wales' 12 new professional rugby players were all given a welcome dilemma just a matter of weeks ago.
They had always represented Wales Women as amateur players: not getting paid while balancing rugby commitments for club and country alongside full-time work or education, not to mention the travel and lack of time for recovery and strength and conditioning.
Fortunately, those are now things of the past for Wales' professional chosen 12, while nine semi-professional players who have signed "retainer" deals will also feel similar effects, albeit to a smaller degree. Up to six more part-time Wales players will be contracted in the coming weeks, meaning head coach Ioan Cunningham and his coaching staff will be working with up to 27 Wales players regularly each week. Further players will be paid for being in a Six Nations/World Cup squad and being part of a matchday 23.
