'I'd be embarrassed!' Nigel Walker addresses bombshell allegations of WRU misogyny for first time

Nigel Walker insists he has not seen any examples of sexist behaviour at the Welsh Rugby Union amid recent allegations.

The former Wales wing was appointed as the WRU's director of performance last year - having previously been vocal in his criticisms of how the union was running the game in this country. Since taking over, he's worked hard to improve the fortunes of the women's game - with professional contracts being handed out for the first time - while the struggling men's game will also be something he'll need to resurrect.

But the recent allegations of sexism and misogyny by a former WRU employee, now the subject of a tribunal, mean wider questions are being asked of the WRU than just on-field performance or off-field administration. However, Walker is insistent that he's not seen any cases of sexist behaviour since starting in his role and says he would be quick to call such occurrences out.
