The WRU has been trying to get the new PRA over the line after months of negotiations, and offered a glimmer of hope in February when they said it had been agreed in principle.<\/a><\/p>\n But with Scarlets and Ospreys stalling, the WRU has an option to serve a two-year notice on their current PRA deal.<\/p>\n After that it has the authority to revoke their licences for competing in the United Rugby Championship (URC) and European competitions.<\/p>\n It could ultimately lead to one of the regions being lost – although WRU chief executive Abi Tierney has repeatedly said she does not want this to happen. <\/p>\n “We remain committed to working constructively with the WRU to find solutions that support the game across our country and ensure a level playing field for all,” added the Scarlets and Ospreys statement.<\/p>\n “We fully respect Cardiff and Dragons RFC’s positions and to make decisions based on their respective circumstances.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
