Have you heard the one about the time Forbes' 26th most powerful woman of 2021 and one of the longest-serving and most successful CEOs in the FTSE 100 each walked into Welsh rugby?
Well, unfortunately there's no satisfying punchline, other than the fact that have also departed Welsh rugby - leaving it a poorer place in the process. Consider that anti-humour or, perhaps more fittingly, dark humour - such is the gloomy feeling in the game in this country for some right now.

To say these people are a loss to the Welsh game is an understatement of epic proportions.
