Wales stars have been warned they could bring the sport of rugby into disrepute if they choose to strike for next week's Six Nations clash against England.
Welsh rugby is in disarray due to a contract freeze with the under-fire governing body and the four regions, which has left players fearing for their futures. With the Welsh Rugby Union yet to seal a new funding deal with the country's regional sides that would lift the freeze, the uncertainty surrounding the players at the moment has caused them to reach breaking point.
Earlier this week, The Mail reported Warren Gatland's squad and the rest of the professional players in Wales will attend an emergency meeting this week to discuss strike action. Now the same publication has written that interim WRU CEO Nigel Walker told the players the sport will suffer significant ramifications if they opted to sit out the match against England.
