The WRU stated it was pushing on with controversial plans to cut from four to three regions and that it would provide details of how it would be achieved by the end of June, with Scarlets, Ospreys, Dragons and WRU-owned Cardiff waiting for the proposals.
The governing body now says that will be done in the “coming weeks” as it focuses on appointing a new chair to replace the outgoing Richard Collier-Keywood.
It says this recruitment process will be completed over the summer and the new chair will be in post before the next WRU annual general meeting (AGM) in November.
