The Welsh Rugby Union has issued pitch safety advice to community clubs for the new season after a record-breaking summer.
Wales recorded its hottest ever day on 24 June with temperatures soaring to 35.9C in Cardiff, while July was the driest since records began 190 years ago.
The weather has left rugby pitches across the country bone dry, with surfaces as hard as concrete.
With the obvious injury risks to players, the WRU has written to all community clubs with guidance on how to ****** s the conditions before next week's opening matches.
It also says clubs can reschedule fixtures without risking any sanction up until mid-September, while match officials can overrule decisions on safety grounds.
