One of the toughest seasons in living memory for Wales' four regions is finally done and dusted, but the hard work is only just beginning as they look ahead to 2023/24.
Times are tough to say the least, with all four sides having their playing budgets cut to £5.2million next season, while wages have also been slashed, making the task of keeping stars in Wales tricky and luring external talent in even trickier.
Each region has seen huge numbers of players leave this summer, with Cardiff losing 16, the Scarlets losing 15 and the Ospreys 14, while nine have also left the Dragons, with the need for major rebuilds on the cards at each club.
