Controversial TV presenter Piers Morgan has ridiculed the WRU's ban on choirs singing Delilah at the Principality Stadium.
It follows frustration from many fans and former and current players, while others have backed the decision to cut the song given its controversial lyrics.
Doctor Richard Lewis, who is the Police Chief Constable for Dyfed Powys, made the case for stopping the song with his own views on Twitter.
He said: "There’s been a lot of misplaced criticism of this decision to stop singing ‘Delilah’. The song depicts the murder of a woman by a jealous partner. For context, approx 2 women a week are murdered by a partner or ex-partner. It’s time to sing something else."
But TV presenter Morgan replied saying: "Should we stop watching Happy Valley too?".
Hit BBC show Happy Valley involves several storylines of violence towards women, and is a critically-acclaimed show that is viewed by millions.
The 1968 hit single by Tom Jones details a male jealous lover killing his unfaithful female partner. One line reads: "I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door; she stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more."
The iconic tune has become synonymous with Welsh rugby culture, and has been molded into an unofficial match day anthem over the years. However, it was removed from the Principality's match day playlist in 2015 and will not feature in the choir's performance this weekend. You can read more on the decision here.
The ban has been met with immediate backlash from some Wales supporters, with Wales Online's most recent poll on the issue showing that 88% of fans so far think the song shouldn't have been banned. You can vote here.
Wales and British and Irish Lions legend Mike Phillips was not convinced the ban would prevent fans from singing the song anyway.
"So what happens if 77,000 people do start singing Delilah? Crazy." he wrote on Twitter.
Current Wales player Louis Rees-Zammit also shared a pointed message on the issue, tweeting: "All the things they need to do and they do that first..."
It comes after serious allegations were made against the Welsh Rugby Union last week in a BBC documentary.
Talksport also discussed the issue on their morning show with Simon Jordan and Jim White. Former Crystal Palace owner Jordan made his views especially clear.
"It's pathetic. This is a song based on a biblical character that exists in fact, right? So unless we're going to airbrush this from people's perception of what Delilah and Samson was, we're in a ridiculous scenario.
"It's pathetic. It's nonsense.

"We have a sporting body that has an issue with its behaviour, and it chooses to target a song that no one is taking the meaning of, no one is looking beyond the spirit of the song in terms of its value to a Welsh rugby union and its gameplay, and the players, and the atmosphere inside the stadium. Where next?
"It's ridiculous, it's nonsense, it's virtue signalling and it's completely unnecessary."
The radio duo had Wales legend Shane Williams on to discuss his thoughts on the ban. Williams explained that he understood where the WRU were coming from, and it is something they were forced into doing. He also said that if it wasn't banned, perhaps people would have taken aim at them for it.
However, the former World Player Of The Year also said as a player, it was something he always enjoyed singing, and he never read into the lyrics very much.
