The Welsh Rugby Union wishes to clarify that it will not grant permission for any of its clubs or Regions participating in future tournaments which do not have the full approval of the IRB and the WRU.
The WRU wants an agreement to be achieved and reiterates its determination to negotiate a new format for the European Cup with all of the stakeholders.
The WRU’s focus is to work collaboratively with our colleagues across Europe, encouraging all parties to conclude our negotiations as quickly as possible.
