The pay row appears to have been settled

The pay row in Welsh rugby appears to have been settled following talks between the Welsh Rugby Union and the players' association.
Richard Harry, the acting chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Players Association, says problems over basic pay for the tour of Australia and New Zealand and over insurance have been resolved.
A pay structure for the next 12 months will now be put to international players.
"We had a very positive and constructive meeting and the WRU took on board our concerns," said Harry.
The players had threatened a strike ahead of the 31 May game with the Barbarians and the summer tour to Australia and New Zealand, after being offered a pay deal that could have seen them receive as little as £500 per cap.
