STATEMENT FROM THE WELSH RUGBY UNION

The Companies Act and the WRU’s Articles of Association require a requisition from at least 10 member clubs for an EGM to be called.

Only nine requisitions were received. The Board, however, recognises that there are specific concerns that warrant debate.

As a result, the Board has decided to put back its own EGM from 23 April to 14 May so that the President, Keith Rowlands, will be available to chair the meeting.

The agenda for that meeting shall include the four items of concern raised by clubs in their recent correspondence with the Union.

In the meantime, representatives of the Board will liaise with those clubs to give them sufficient time to renew their position.
