So, having increased its spending on various Board members and senior management by 40% last year, the WRU finds ever more inventory to spend on itself.
This time for a job which looks not dissimilar to that of a Director of Rugby, which it already has.

I hope to god this AI slop document is a pure formality because they already have someone lined up
However, trying to force through their disastrous reforms without this person appointed further reinforces what an ego trip this whole thing has been for Reddin

Girlguides yesterday, WI today. This is definitely planned.
We ALL need to stand up to this. Cis people need to withdraw and boycott organisations doing this. Write to them and tell them why. Write to your MP and express your digust at the harm that is occurring to the trans and NB community. /1

We have to provide for four teams in the rugby competition we’ve contracted for. The problem is we have four teams.

If you didn’t see the game, watch the genuinely insane leaps of common sense, physics and duty of care that all four officials are fully in agreement in making to class a dynamic, avoidable shoulder direct to the head as a rugby incident.
Angus O’Brien is all of us here. It’s genuinely shameful.

Calling Nathan Gill ‘ancient history’ is a cynical attempt to sweep a politically-threatening truth under the carpet.
Gill was a trusted ally of Nigel Farage.
We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics - the people of Wales deserve transparency.

This should be a much, much bigger story than it is playing as so far. Is it the 'Wales' bit that's distracting? Just because it's a devolved administration is hardly the point. This is a corrupt operator that Reform embraced.

It is right that representatives who break the law and undermine Welsh interests in this way face the consequences of their actions.

When you consider this and the fact that the WRU were briefing journalists at the game last week, this clearly isn’t a credible or professional governing body.
Good on the Dragons for calling it out because quite frankly someone needs to. WRU are going to kill pro rugby in Wales.

Labour is enabling Farage’s agenda by trading principles for soundbites.
Rules and controls are necessary - but rules without humanity corrode trust and fuel division.
