The Welsh Rugby Union has told clubs matches can now be played with as few as 12 players on each team in a bid to get the season completed on time.
Around 200 Welsh National League matches have failed to take place already this season for different reasons, with the inability of many clubs to consistently raise a side chief among them.
Now, with the WRU determined to get the season completed so the 2023/24 structure can be implemented, every club has received a letter informing them of the plan.
