Welsh Rugby Union: Body brands EGM calls as ‘irresponsible nuclear option’

The call to arms from Central Glamorgan was a sign of the growing discontent within the game in Wales.

The WRU announced in October that one of the country’s four professional men’s sides were to be cut but it remains unclear how that will happen.

The rebel clubs’ motions include a vote of no confidence in Collier-Keywood and Professional Rugby Board (PRB) chair Malcolm Wall, new elections for the WRU board and changes to the electoral process for the council.

“We see the meandering between different versions of a plan, causing chaos, confusion,” they said.

“This is causing reputational damage to Welsh rugby across the world when we were once held in such high esteem.”

The calls come just weeks after the 2025 annual general meeting (AGM) at the end of November – a day after Wales’ record 73-0 defeat by South Africa – with little dissent.

Clubs voted through major changes to the board of the governing body in March 2023.
