RFU chief executive Bill Sweeney confirmed the Welsh Rugby Union has formally asked about joining an Anglo-Welsh league that could put Welsh clubs into an expanded Premiership.

Legal hurdles remain because Welsh sides are still tied to the United Rugby Championship through the 2027-28 season under current existing supply deals.
