One of the clubs that voted against the Welsh Rugby Union having an independent chair has launched a robust defence of their reasons for doing so.
A motion which would have allowed the WRU board to appoint their own chair, someone not elected by the member clubs, went before the Union’s AGM on Sunday in Cardiff. It failed to secure the required 75 per cent approval from the clubs, receiving 65.6 per cent of the 221 votes.
That’s an outcome which has provoked widespread condemnation, with Dragons chairman David Buttress among those to comment strongly, calling it “appalling”.
