The governing body says it's entering a formal consultation with the Professional Rugby Board (PRB) and could reduce the number of regions to three or even two.

Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets are the four current sides, with the WRU saying it wants a "more radical" strategy to be completed by October.
