Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Steve Phillips is expected to officially resign on Sunday.
WalesOnline understands Phillips will finally fall on his sword after an enormous groundswell of outrage over the 'toxic' allegations directed at the union this week following a damning BBC documentary on Monday. Phillips had attempted to remain in post, insisting he was still the right man to lead the WRU, while chairman Ieuan Evans had backed him to stay as he announced an external taskforce will be set up to clean up the game.
Those attempts to remain in power have proved futile amid the swirling anger and demand for change that made Phillips' position untenable.
