'Devastated' Ieuan Evans orders external taskforce to clean up WRU and stands by CEO Steve Phillips

Welsh Rugby Union chairman Ieuan Evans has responded to the horrendous allegations of a "toxic culture" within the organisation after it was accused of bullying and sexism.

After a damaging week the former Wales wing has apologised for the WRU's conduct. In his first press conference since the full allegations were made public, Evans insisted under-fire WRU chief executive Steve Phillips will continue in his role while he also revealed an external taskforce will be brought in to clean up Welsh rugby.

It comes after a BBC programme had interviewed a number of former employees who made some harrowing allegations. You can read full details of that here.
