A shortlist for a new chair of the Welsh Rugby Union has been drawn up, with the union confirming it has received hundreds of applications for its new independent non-executive director board roles.
A selection panel for the independent chair is ready to start the interviewing process, with candidates drawn from senior positions in the public, private and third sectors.
With a new chair expected to be announced before the end of the summer, the new chief executive is expected to be appointed shortly afterwards. The recruitment process for two further independent non-executive directors (INEDs) is scheduled to be completed by Christmas, but could be advanced.
