A planned meeting between the Welsh Rugby Union and the four regions has been called off for Wednesday.
Regional Rugby Wales (RRW) had been expected to make its case to the full WRU board.
However, a meeting of the WRU executive and RRW is due to go ahead on Wednesday.

A long-running dispute centres on funding and international player release.
Regional Rugby Wales represents Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Scarlets and Ospreys.
