Full details have been revealed of the radical changes that will be put forward at this month’s make-or-break Welsh Rugby Union extraordinary general meeting (EGM) with all the proposals to be bundled together amid a single vote by the member clubs.
The plan on the table is for a major revamp of the governance of the union, with an independent chair, an increased number of independent board members and an aspiration that at least five of the 12 directors will be women.

The EGM will be held at the Princess Royal Theatre, in Port Talbot on Sunday, March 26, with the WRU having now provided written notice of the special resolution..
