If Ospreys vanish, Jac Morgan has informed the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) that he will step down from playing professional domestic rugby there.
Ospreys claim that the Wales, British, and Irish Lions flanker has warned the governing body, which is considering reducing the number of professional teams.
At a meeting this week, Morgan’s supporters were able to discuss the highly contentious proposals, which could see the cut of two of the Ospreys, Scarlets, Dragons, and Cardiff.
Morgan is the highest-profile player to speak out against the threat to his club, being the only Welsh player to play for the Lions against Australia this summer.
However, other funding options are being considered as the governing body’s consultation with players, fans, and stakeholders ends on September.
The Welsh Rugby Players Association (WRPA) has warned the WRU that its recommendations for the elite game would “drive talent to leave Wales.”
Morgan is currently the most well-known Welsh player, and she is a contender to take over as Wales’ autumn international captain in November.
