Multiple Ospreys players, including those just named in the Wales squad, have just posted this to Instagram.
Absolutely fucking disgraceful they’re expected to go out there and do their jobs while those above are hiding and shirking theirs tbh.

I’m nearing the point of having lived the majority of my life outside of Wales.
Welsh rugby has been so important in keeping me connected to my roots in that time.
But I can’t keep supporting any team run by the WRU if they follow through with this needless, brutal act.
No Ospreys. No Wales. 🖕🏻

The deal is not yet final.
There will be a way to fight this, to show that nobody but the WRU wants the death of Wales' most successful region.
It's time to find them and fight.

The Ospreys final home game will be against the Scarlets on 9 May.
If Y11 have the tiniest shred of respect for the fans they’ve wantonly fucked over for no real reason but avarice, they’ll move the game to St Helens - or even the Liberty - so we can say goodbye properly.

I was there for the first league game against Ulster, I was there for the first rugby game at the Liberty, I was there for the Australia A win, I was there for the win at the Scarlets in December
The Ospreys are a massive part of my life, gutting

I understand that Ospreys supporters should direct frustrations over previous mismanagement in Welsh Rugby at the WRU.
But if the reports are true, they should be seething at Y11. Feel sorry for all involved at the moment.

This has been going on so long I'd completed so many stages of grief that now it's happening all I have left is acceptance.
A huge part of my life is ending this week. I'll be angry again before too long but right now I just feel nothing.

tbf I wouldn’t call them derbies either if I got battered in every single one
There is no such thing as a 'Welsh derby' so stop calling them that.
Llanelli used to have derbies against Swansea and, to a lesser degree, Neath. Call the game against the plastic Ospreys hybrid a 'derby' if you must, but I'm not sure.
Same goes for Cardiff-Newport (derby) / Cardiff-Dragons (not)

Aaron Wainwright to Leicester is such a perfect signing, it just feels right.
Gutted for Drags fans though.
