Ospreys and Scarlets yet to sign WRU deal

Scarlets are also yet to commit to the deal negotiated between the WRU and the four regions which stipulates how the professional game in Wales will be run, including details such as how much money each side will have. Ospreys and Scarlets are currently signed up to an old agreement which runs out in 2028, while Dragons and Cardiff - who are currently owned by the WRU - put pen to paper in May 2025 on the new PRA25 deal which lasts until 2030. "It's not signed yet, but it's progressing towards that, so it's very close," Bradley told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.

"It's just a few details to sort out, there aren't any problems with it. " Bradley also denied reports suggesting the new agreement would mean budget cuts for the clubs. He added: "There was some discussion about how you manage recruitment at relatively short notice, but no there's no plans for a reduction in the budget.

The union wants to achieve this in time for the 2028-29 season and will outline the terms of how this will be achieved by this summer. Previous WRU proposals have suggested only one side would remain in the west of Wales, but Bradley remains hopeful for a long-term future for both Ospreys and Scarlets.

"I think we need to see the details of it," Bradley said. "My personal preference would be that four regions is something that works very well. "Ospreys against Scarlets is the biggest club game in Welsh rugby and you know everybody likes to hate everybody else, but it's a fantastic game and it's a fantastic rivalry and I'd like to see it continue if possible.
