Welsh rugby crisis: Clubs urged to call WRU extraordinary general meeting

by

The WRU launched a strategy in October suggesting major change to the Welsh game, which included cutting one of the four men’s professional sides.

The governing body has so far failed to achieve that, with more talks expected in the coming weeks.

The clubs had a chance to quiz the WRU hierarchy at November’s annual general meeting (AGM) but there was only one query about the professional game raised in a question and answer session.

Central Glamorgan Rugby Union now feels the WRU has to answer questions on its leadership.

It says if the “people paid to do the job have to use consultants to guide them, it begs the question if we have the right personnel in those roles”, adding “there are experienced people within Wales who understand the rugby landscape and would willingly offer their time”.

The letter continues: “We feel strongly we as clubs and shareholders need to hold the WRU to account and the only mechanism that we have to do that at this moment in time is via an extraordinary general meeting.

“To call an EGM, we require a minimum of 10% of voting members to support the call for such a meeting.

“However, we would like to send a stronger message and would therefore encourage clubs to canvass the opinions of their members to get as many member clubs as possible to agree change is needed in accordance with the motions we are putting forward.”
