Ken Owens was Wales’ captain when the regions went through a similar PRA crisis in 2023.
Stalled talks had left many players in contract limbo, with a strike threatened prior to a Six Nations game against England.
“We are still in the same place we were two years ago,” the former Scarlets skipper told S4C.
“This agreement needed to be signed, and it hasn’t been signed, and we knew something was going to happen.
“We need to look at the details and how that looks, but the Union hasn’t said they will go down to three regions.”
Owens, who served as the chairperson of the Welsh Rugby Players’ Association (WRPA) from 2015 to 2019, added it was disappointing that “we have no way forward for the game in Wales.”
“If we lose a region, we must look at the sponsors. Why would the sponsors put money into something that isn’t going to exist in two years?,” he said.
“We must remember the personal element as well, the players, the staff across all four regions that are affected.
“We need to have a plan for how to move forward, to turn the negatives around in Welsh rugby.
“Evolution has gone now, we need revolution.”
