England's next Six Nations match against Wales has been plunged into doubt after it was suggested that a number of Welsh players are reportedly considering strike action over contract issues.
The clash is scheduled to take place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, however, it now appears to be under threat as the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has been unable to bring a freeze to contract negotiations to a halt, leaving many players in limbo over their futures in the sport.
The under-fire WRU remains locked in negotiations with the country's four regions - Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets - and are still all yet to come to an agreement that would resolve issues over funding for Wales players' contracts, which has brought about the current freeze.
