Dillon Lewis could be the latest player to leave Wales with Gloucester one of a number of English clubs interested in securing his services.
The 26-year-old forward is out of contract at the end of this season with the current freeze on recruitment and retention at the four regions generally not helping when it comes to keeping players in Wales.
While a six-year funding framework has been verbally agreed between the regions and the Welsh Rugby Union, only conditional contracts can be offered until a deal is signed off in the new year. Even when the six-year funding framework completed, it is doubtful all four professional sides will be able to afford to retain all their star players.
