At last it looks like we've got an agreement about Welsh rugby's future.

That's good, not just for the boys in Swansea but for players throughout Wales whose contracts are coming to an end.

Welsh rugby reaches accord

It's down to the clubs now to get the structures and draft systems in place and to keep the best Welsh talent in the country.

That has to be done quickly, though - if the players are not offered contracts within the next three weeks they will be looking to secure their futures elsewhere.

I've got to see who thinks I'm a quality player and wants me in their side

Over the weekend the players were very down. We want to play in a high intensity environment, week-in, week-out - obviously we found that impossible during the Six Nations.

Eighteen months ago the players were sat down formulating their fantasy sides for European rugby - we know who we'd like to be playing with in a regional structure, but decisions need to be taken.

Potential regional teams

We've formed our own union, but kept our thoughts to ourselves in the course of the arguments in Welsh rugby. We didn't want to go down the route of withdrawing from club or international games.

Personally, I'm back to square one with Swansea. As I write this my redundancy contract is in front of me, just waiting for my signature for my final release.

I've got to accept that, then wait to see what opportunities arise for next season, who thinks I'm a quality player and wants me in their side.

In some ways, though, I've got an advantage over the other players likely to be heading off on Wales' summer tour in that I've got six weeks one-on-one with the fitness instructor.

Seeking the positives

A lot of the other guys will have to play over a dozen games in six-seven weeks before the end of the season.

That's too much rugby.
