Scarlets chairman Simon Muderack has issued a stark warning over the future of the four professional club sides as protracted talks with the Welsh Rugby Union remain at a stalemate.
Muderack and representatives from all four teams – Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets – have been locked in talks with the WRU all year, attempting to reach an agreement over a long-term strategy for professional rugby in Wales to flourish.
Neither side can agree on the size of the payments that flow from the Union to the pro sides for things like advanced access to players during international windows.
