First Minister Mark Drakeford says the Welsh Rugby Union must publicly acknowledge the scale and nature of issues around culture and alleged misogyny which have seen the governing body come in for intense criticism.
The Welsh Government has begun a dialogue with the governing body and says it will continue to engage in "a challenging, where necessary, conversation" to ensure it commands the confidence of Welsh citizens, rugby players and supporters.
Former employees aired their alleged experiences publicly during a BBC investigations programme on Monday which called into question the union's culture. Former head of Welsh women's rugby Charlotte Wathan told the programme that a male colleague joked in front of others in an office that he wanted to "rape" her, while another woman said she was bullied while working there. There was also an accusation of racist language being used by an employee.
