Given the uncertain nature of the last 12 months or so, it shouldn't be a surprise that some of the Welsh squad named in the 54-man World Cup training squad are unsure over where they'll be playing their rugby next season.
It might have been more, but the last few weeks have seen the likes of Dan Lydiate and Nicky Smith nail down their plans for next year.
But there's still a half-dozen players aiming to make it to France who need to figure out what their future holds.
Ironically, one of those is a player who will now have to leave France, having only recently come onto the radar of Wales. Tight-head prop Henry Thomas will have to leave Montpellier after his call-up.
The seven-cap former England international revealed to WalesOnline his inclusion in Wales' squad constituted a change of terms in his contract at the French champions. As such, he's on the look-out for a new club.
Unfortunately for Thomas, it's not as simple as just finding any club. Having been called up while still contracted at Montpellier, he's now captured by the 25-cap rule for when he signs his next contract.

That means he'll have to sign for a Welsh side to continue his Test career beyond this current squad. Easier said than done, given the financial uncertainty that has dogged the Welsh game.
Given the departures each have had to announce, signing a player who could be away with Wales for much of the year doesn't necessarily fit in with their own interests.
The other players with their futures up in the air don't have to worry about the 25-cap rule. All have played for Wales enough to move where they like.
There's no such jeopardy for them. Instead, rather than weighing up the risks of club versus country, they can choose what is best for them.
Leigh Halfpenny is well-placed to head to a third World Cup, given the options at full-back, but he's currently without a club - having been released by the Scarlets.
No new club has been announced yet. In fact, there's even little in the way of rumours knocking around about where the Lions full-back could go next.
There's a number of clubs in England and France who would undoubtedly be admirers of the 34-year-old, with Bath having been linked on numerous occasions in the past.
It's understood that there's little concern over Halfpenny finding a move that will suit him for next year.
Another confirmed departure is Gareth Anscombe, with the fly-half having announced his exit from the Ospreys shortly after the season finished.
A move away from Wales was expected, with the former Cardiff player having long been linked with a deal abroad after this year's World Cup.
It made sense on every level, giving Anscombe the chance of another shot at the World Cup after being cruelly denied the starting gig in Japan four years ago, while also handing him a decent pay-day - with France and Japan having been touted as likely destinations.
His Ospreys half-back partner Rhys Webb has been the subject of rumours for a while now, with his CV doing the rounds in France. It was even reported that he visited Biarritz at the start of this month.
American and Japanese clubs are also understood to be interested, while Super Rugby has been mentioned as an option.
Despite working his way back into the Wales side this season, the 34-year-old, soon to be a free agent, is said to be considering his options after being offered a single-year deal at the Swansea.com Stadium on reduced terms amid Welsh rugby’s cutbacks.
Having returned from France once before to be closer to his family, it's believed that staying in Swansea would be the preferred option for the scrum-half.
There's every likelihood that Webb will still be in Swansea next season. But, after 18 campaigns at the Ospreys, the prospects of a 19th for Alun Wyn Jones seem unlikely.
Nothing concrete has been said about the future of Test rugby's most capped player, but the Wales second-row's contract finishes this year and the expectation is that once it's done after the end of the World Cup, that will be it for Jones at the side that he first played for in 2005.
Whether that means retirement or experiencing another environment is unclear at this moment in time.
Finally, Wales full-back Liam Williams had long been linked with a move to Japan, with Kobe Steelers the expected destination.
That touted move first came about at the height of financial uncertainty at Cardiff, with the Arms Park side forced to consider letting the Wales international go in order to free up some space in their budget for next year.
Things went quiet though, with Williams' name not mentioned when the club revealed the departures at the end of the campaign.
In theory, that should put the whole thing to bed, but it's not out of the question that a move could still happen. Certainly, the odd whisper still circulates around Welsh rugby circles.
