Former First Minister Carwyn Jones has called for a Senedd inquiry into the allegations of sexism, misogyny and discrimination levelled at the Welsh Rugby Union this week.
Welsh rugby has been rocked by accusations from former employees, who claim there was a "toxic culture" at the WRU.
WRU chief Steve Phillips has since stressed he's 'appalled' by the allegations, but insisted he was still the right man to lead Welsh rugby. You can read his interview with WalesOnline here.
The Welsh Government has also expressed its concerns, but has also stated the matter is one for the governing body to deal with.
However, Mr Jones, himself a huge rugby fan, says an inquiry is necessary in order to shine a light on the allegations and ensure that lessons are learned.
"The Senedd has the powers to hold inquiries," he told BBC Radio Wales, "[and] to subpoena witnesses for example that the [Welsh] Government doesn't have.
"The reputation of not just the Welsh Rugby Union, but rugby in general in Wales, will continue to be tarnished if people think that the action that's been taken isn't sufficient."
As well as drawing attention to what happened within the WRU, Jones said authorities needed to establish "what's going to happen now to make sure that this situation does not arise again".
"If that involves a Senedd committee looking at it," he added, "I think that's better for everybody.
"What's clear at the moment, people's faith in the Welsh Rugby Union has been shaken to the very foundations of the union."
