Can’t understand why the Chairman of The Community Game Board was put up for interview by The WRU today. That should be a job for the person with whom the buck stops - namely The CEO. Treating Welsh rugby fans with a total lack of respect. 🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Speaking to the Welsh Affairs Committee last month, WRU CEO Abi Tierney denied there was apathy in Welsh rugby. Today's attendance for Wales v France is 57,744. The lowest ever for a Six Nations game in Cardiff.

Congratulations to Matt Sherratt on being appointed as Wales head coach for the final three matches of the Six Nations. With no intention of taking the job full time, Abi Tierney has put Howley’s future in his hands, am I reading that right?

12 months too late Abi but thank you for making a step in the correct direction. Gatland done so much for us, let’s remember him for the good and the trophies. Best wishes to him and his family. Let’s also remember that none of this is personal, it’s what’s needed for success.

🚨 Hope Is Fading Fast in Welsh Rugby 🚨 We can no longer stand by and watch our beloved game crumble. The future of Welsh rugby depends on bold action, fearless leadership, and a clear plan for change! Resignations are needed now! 💔 #SaveWelshRugby
