Welsh Rugby Union proposes major reforms in response to alleged sexism & misogyny

The Welsh Rugby Union says either its new chair or chief executive must be female under major reforms proposed in response to allegations of sexism and misogyny within the organisation.

Among the plans to “modernise”, the WRU also says its new board will comprise of at least five women and be more diverse.

A majority of 75 per cent of members at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), to be called imminently, will need to vote in favour in order to pass the proposals.
