Welsh rugby players cannot continue playing and putting themselves at risk of injury with "the fear of the unknown hanging over them" amid a recruitment freeze, the Welsh Rugby Players' Association has warned.
Players across Wales' professional game are facing an uncertain time while the Welsh Rugby Union and four regions try to thrash out a new funding deal. It had initially been hoped the deal would be agreed ahead of the start of this season, but time is going on and regions don't yet know their budgets for next season, let alone beyond.
Therefore a freeze on re-signing or bringing in new players is currently in place.
