Contract talks freeze having 'detrimental effect' on Welsh rugby players

Welsh Rugby Players Association says financial uncertainty is affecting players' lives. Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets lost in South Africa this weekend. There is a financial impasse between the professional sides and the Welsh Rugby Union about their funding for the coming years. The association wants an agreement to be concluded imminently. Will Rowlands, a Dragons' player, has agreed to move to French club Racing 92. Wales have just three wins this season and coach Wayne Pivac's position is under threat.
