Wales coach Warren Gatland expects next week's Six Nations clash with England to go ahead despite the threat of strike action.
Welsh rugby players are in dispute with bosses about a long-term pay agreement, with senior international Alun Wyn Jones admitting on Thursday it was "hard to deny" that it was a very real possibility.
At the same press conference, Gatland said he did not support players striking for the clash with England, but did back them to have a stronger voice over their own future.
