Plans for a Principality Stadium roof walk have been shelved as the Welsh Rugby Union diverts millions of pounds of private investment towards the professional game rather than capital projects.
The WRU had initially hoped for the roof-top attraction at the iconic venue to be operational by 2024 at the latest. But a change in strategy in terms of how to spend the millions invested into the game by private equity firm CVC Capital Partners means the attraction has become a casualty.
It comes as professional rugby in Wales faces significant financial challenges, with the four regions' budgets being cut and player wages being driven down in order for them to survive.
