Wales head coach Warren Gatland has delayed naming his side to face England for the under-threat Six Nations match on Saturday in Cardiff.The match remains in doubt with Wales' players threatening to strike in a dispute with Welsh rugby bosses over contracts.
The players want three issues resolved before they agree to take the field at Principality Stadium for a match worth close to £10m for Welsh rugby.The removal of the contentious 60-cap selection rule in Wales whereby a player plying his trade outside the country cannot be picked unless he has made at least that number of Test appearances.
The removal of Welsh rugby bosses' demands that players accept 80% in set wages with 20% available in bonuses. PRB chair Malcolm Wall has said the 60-cap is under review, but stated his organisation was intent on pressing ahead with the fixed/variable contracts which mean players are only guaranteed 80%.
