The Unresolved Welsh Rugby Union Deal: A Challenging Standstill
The WRU's deal with three professional sides remains undecided as the deadline passes.

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) is facing a standstill as the Scarlets, Ospreys, and Dragons have yet to agree to a new long-term deal, even after the set deadline on Tuesday night. The WRU's takeover of Cardiff last week has raised concerns about the proposed Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA), which is a key part of the WRU's 'One Wales' strategy. Despite meetings and communication, the three sides have not agreed, and negotiations are ongoing with a scheduled meeting on Wednesday.
