The Welsh Rugby Union plans to completely transform the way the game is run in proposals that will be put to clubs at an Extraordinary General Meeting in March.
The WRU will ask member clubs to approve a proposal that the Board’s next chair should be an appointed Independent Non-Executive Director (INED), that its composition should include at least five women (out of 12 members) and that its skillset should be significantly more diverse.
There is a stark gender imbalance on the WRU Board currently, with INED Cat Read the only woman alongside eleven men. This will be addressed by appointing women to at least two of the newly proposed four INED directors positions.
