Wales' four professional sides have six months to wait until they play a competitive game of rugby again, but rest assured they will already be planning for next season.
To say times are tough in Wales would be an understatement with all four regions having to cut their playing budgets down to £5.2million next season, while wages have been slashed, making it difficult to recruit players externally.
Nevertheless, a new six-year financial deal has been signed with the Welsh Rugby Union meaning each region will be busy trying to put the best squad possible together ahead of next season's United Rugby Championship.
