Cardiff Rugby are set to declare their intent to enter administration in what is another hammer blow to the game in Wales.
Mail Sport understands the club’s players and staff were called to an emergency meeting on Tuesday afternoon to be told the news.
The Welsh Rugby Union is to step in and take control of the country’s capital side to stop it from falling out of existence as English sides Worcester, Wasps and London Irish did in 2022.
A spokesman for the WRU said: ‘We are aware Cardiff Rugby have confirmed notice of intention to appoint administrators, and we are working closely with the Cardiff Board and the administrators to safeguard the future of professional rugby in Cardiff.’
