WRU board member Henry Engelhardt accuses BBC over bombshell investigation

Influential WRU board member Henry Engelhardt has criticised the bombshell BBC investigation that saw the Union face allegations of sexism, misogyny and overseeing a toxic culture.

Engelhardt says he has "learned some things that are not complimentary about the BBC", accusing the corporation of "sensationalism" and "not listening". BBC Wales says it stands by the accuracy of its investigation.

The businessman claimed the programme makers "didn't want to know" after being talked through various allegations by the WRU, telling the Walescast podcast: "I'm not saying there aren't problems at the WRU but I don't think they were presented accurately in this programme. So there's two faults here. There's a fault that was being addressed by the WRU and there was a fault by the BBC. They aren't mutually exclusive.
