Welsh rugby's four professional sides are set to train against each other one day a week next season in an attempt to maintain sufficient numbers during the campaign.
With squad numbers dropping as budgets tighten over the next couple of seasons, players from the regions have been told teams are poised to train against each other on Thursdays before matchdays in order to have enough players involved in a session.
Professional Rugby Board chair Malcolm Wall has previously spoken about the expected size of squads for next season, believing that a squad of 44 would be achievable. However, financial constraints and uncertainty will see squad sizes suffer - meaning the farcical notion of teams training against each other could seemingly become a reality.
