Wales' regional rugby season came to something of a premature end on May 21 due to the teams failing to reach the United Rugby Championship or European knockout stages.
The Ospreys and Cardiff rounded off their regular campaigns on May 20, followed by the Scarlets and Dragons a day later on May 21 - with those teams vying for URC title victory continuing until the final on June 18.
But, ahead of a Wales summer tour to South Africa in July and a busy season next term which will culminate in a World Cup, the early finish has given players the opportunity to begin their rest and relaxation early so they're fit and firing for the weeks and months ahead.
