Exciting times ahead for Welsh rugby as the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) confirms their Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is set to go ahead at the iconic Principality Stadium this Monday! Despite some twists in the tale—with authors of the requisition notice pulling back support—the meeting will proceed according to company law.
Initially led by the Central Glamorgan Rugby Union, the EGM had its sights set on a no-confidence vote against WRU chair Richard Collier-Keywood, alongside a proposed shake-up of board positions. But with Collier-Keywood announcing his plans to step down in July and the Cardiff Rugby buyout still in limbo, things are shifting.
The WRU has reached out to member clubs to gauge interest in keeping the original motions on the table. If the clubs express no objections, the assembly turns informal, featuring a forward-thinking presentation on the “Future of Rugby in Wales” followed by open discussions.
WRU President Terry Cobner is rallying clubs to join in for a big chat on Welsh rugby’s future—be it in person, virtually, or by proxy. Cobner stresses, “We’re embracing the EGM to discuss our game’s future with our members. It’s vital we hear from everyone, and we’re ready for a healthy and constructive debate.”
Whether it’s about decisions or discussions, the quorum mandates 95 clubs to kick off without a hitch. Welsh rugby is gathering as one for this momentous event. Let’s unite and share our hopes for the game’s future in Wales!
