'Something has to change' - Dragons' Dixon lays bare Welsh contract row
Dragons centre Jack Dixon has laid bare the stark reality faced by players and their families amid Welsh rugby's contracts freeze. Dixon is out of contract with his Newport-based regional team at the end of this season; he is among an estimated 70 to 100 Welsh professional players in the same boat. A new six-year financial agreement between the Welsh Rugby Union and Wales' four professional regions - Dragons, Cardiff, Ospreys and Scarlets - has not yet been signed off in writing after months of discussion, and the clock is ticking.
