WRU Chair Sets New Tuesday Deadline for Rugby Regions' Deal

The WRU chair has set a Tuesday deadline for Scarlets, Ospreys and Dragons to sign a new deal.

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) chair Richard Collier-Keywood has given Scarlets, Ospreys and Dragons a crucial deadline of Tuesday evening. This comes after the governing body's takeover of Cardiff, raising concerns about the new proposed Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA) with all four Welsh professional sides. The three sides are awaiting the final copy of the new PRA document before committing to sign. The WRU insists on a prompt decision to move forward into the 2025-26 season with certainty.
