Rob Butcher and Ieuan Evans are the contenders for the position which will be determined by the WRU Board.
Evans joined the Board after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held ‘virtually’ last week, after successfully winning election from the WRU Council.
The chairmanship has been vacated by Gareth Davies who officially finished his six-year term at the helm at the AGM.
Evans is the only new member of the WRU Board after originally replacing Davies on the WRU Council, with Chris Morgan, Phil Thomas and Dave Young having been re-elected to the Board by the WRU Council.
