- Only seven of 252 votes were not in favour of reform
- Welsh rugby faced allegations of sexism, misogyny and racism
Welsh Rugby Union clubs voted overwhelmingly in favour of governance reforms at an extraordinary general meeting on Sunday. Of the 252 votes cast, only seven did not vote in favour, meaning the required 75% majority was comfortably exceeded.
The WRU will now appoint an independent non-executive director (INED) as chair and recruit two further new INEDs to its 12-person board, doubling the number of independent representatives to six, with the aim of ensuring at least five directors are women.
