The governance of Welsh rugby has been thrust into the spotlight in recent weeks, with the game here teetering on the edge of chaos.
Panic buttons have been smashed simultaneously all along the M4 corridor. All four pro teams have missed out on the URC play-offs and the men's, women's and under-20s sides all lost to Italy in this year's Six Nations. Financially, the regions are treading water and, by their own admission in some cases, are unable to compete in the league.
Fans across the country are furious with the Union's handling of the situation. We're at the point where regional chairmen and head coaches are openly criticising the game's governing body. Professional rugby in Wales is a circus and those tasked with the running of it are largely unable to rectify things because of the WRU's governance structure, which is decades past its sell-by date.
