Steve Phillips has called for greater alignment at all levels of rugby in Wales and has slammed the critics of the Welsh Rugby Union's community board directors.
The WRU chief executive has come in for fierce criticism during his time at the helm of Welsh rugby with many accusing him of neglecting the regional game. In an interview with S4C's current affairs series Y Byd ar Bedwar, Phillips maintains he wants the four regions to be successful but insists it can only be achieved with greater alignment.
"Sometimes it is difficult and I come back to the word alignment," said Phillips when asked to describe his relationship with the regions.
