The future of professional rugby in Wales remains uncertain, with the WRU and regions yet to reach agreement on funding months into ongoing crisis talks.
While hopes remain a breakthrough could come soon, discussions have seen a huge £6 million gulf emerge between what the governing body say they can afford and what the pro sides feel they need to be properly competitive.
It was hoped the issue would be sorted out by the end of last month amid mounting concerns, but Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets remain unsure what their payments from the Welsh Rugby Union will be for the coming season.
