Wales' summer tour to South Africa is in the books and attention now turns to preparations for the next campaign.
Welsh clubs have had their players in for pre-season before their international stars even returned home from their three-Test showdown with the world champions.
There is just a month to go until the pre-season fixtures start rolling in for Welsh teams and before we know it the United Rugby Championship will be back underway. However, as yet, there is no indication when the new season is starting or when the fixtures will be released, though the Gallagher Premiership put their new schedule out this week.
