- The 133-page review highlights bullying and misogyny
- Governing body apologises and accepts all findings
An independent review of the Welsh Rugby Union has delivered a damning verdict on a “toxic” culture of bullying and discrimination, allied to widespread political infighting and general incompetence in the organisation.
A BBC Wales programme broadcast in January prompted an outcry after a number of former employees made allegations of sexism and discrimination experienced while working for the WRU. Inadequate governance, a lack of focus on and commitment to building the women’s game, internal political tensions and a culture of bullying and misogyny are all highlighted in the report published on Tuesday.
