The proposed agreement was intended to form a key component of the long -term plan of the Wru, which defined the “One Wales” strategy.
BBC Sport Wales learned that if the three independent regions had not signed, the Wru would have taken into consideration the options that could lead to lasting structural changes in Welsh professional rugby.
A possible result could have seen the number of professional teams from Welsh, despite the fact that the CEO Inca Tierney would repeatedly express his commitment to maintaining all four regions.
The Wru holds the licenses for the Welsh sides competing in the United Rugby (URC) and European competitions.
The union has the authority to revoke these licenses after having served a two -year warning period, although they would be strongly penalized if they had not continued to provide four sides for their respective competitions.
The independent clubs had expressed concern for the fact that, based on the proposed agreement, there would be no clear limit to the level of investment that the Wru could allocate to Cardiff, potentially putting the other teams at a financial disadvantage.
The acquisition of the WRU of the business and the activities of Cardiff costs £ 780,000, with the national government body also committed to putting about 1.2 million pounds in the region of the capital of capital until June 2026, which means a total outlay of about £ 2 million.
