On July 14, 2026, Carmarthenshire Council welcomed the Scarlets' new Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA25) with the Welsh Rugby Union, citing two years of "security and stability" for professional rugby in west Wales. This development followed the Scarlets signing the PRA25 on July 13, making them the fourth and final Welsh region to commit to the agreement, thereby ending a stand-off that had lasted over a year and resolving months of uncertainty for the professional game. Earlier, on July 10, Welsh Rugby announced it was advertising for two new independent members for its Professional Rugby Board (PRB), with one of these appointees also taking on the crucial role of chair, who will sit on the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) Board. This recruitment drive follows the PRB's initiation of a search on July 8 for a new chair to succeed Marianne Okland when her term ends. Previously, on July 2, the Welsh Rugby Union appointed Steve Salvin as the full-time forwards coach for the Wales Women's team, formalizing his interim role during the 2026 W6N campaign where he was seconded from Exeter Chiefs Women's head coach.
