Scarlets, Ospreys and Dragons have yet to agree to sign a new long-term deal with the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), with a set deadline passing on Tuesday night.
WRU chair Richard Collier-Keywood asked the three sides to ensure they had agreed to confirm their intention to sign a new deal by “close of play” on Tuesday, following the governing body’s takeover of Cardiff last week.
The Arms Park outfit were placed into temporary administration last Wednesday, with the WRU taking control of the capital-based region.
That development raised concerns about the proposed new arrangement between the WRU and the four Welsh professional sides, known as the Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA).
The PRA, which includes a new funding arrangement, is meant to form a key component of the WRU’s long-term plan, which they have called the ‘One Wales’ strategy.
