The WRU may have come out of Wednesday's meeting making upbeat noises but the seems to have cut little ice with clubs or players. A report in the South Wales Echo says that supporters of the four regions are planning protests against the board at matches over the holiday period.

The newspaper reports that supporters' clubs of the four regions have united to express their views on the dispute which is damaging Welsh rugby.

The regions are annoyed that until now the WRU has refused to meet with them to discuss the future of the regional game.

The supporters plan a call for a resolution but if that fails then they will step up action.

"This is the first time we have come together as four separate supporters' bodies and we are united and agreed that action is needed," Sarah Hopkins, chair of the Blues Supporters' Club, told the newspaper. "We are considering a number of options, including using the dynamic of the Christmas derbies. As a collective we feel it's time our voice was heard. This obviously affects the players but it affects the supporters too. But we are getting no response from the WRU."
