Ospreys players have been assured their futures are safe after being told a potential merger with Cardiff Rugby would not be happening.
Speculation has been rife following reports last week that discussions between the Ospreys' majority owners Y11 and Cardiff bosses were held.
The initial suggestion was that any attempts for Y11 to buy into Cardiff would have seen the two sides merge and play at the Arms Park, with the name 'Cardiff Ospreys' being a possibility.
