Welsh rugby crisis: What is at stake at Welsh rugby’s EGM?

Welsh rugby crisis: What is at stake at Welsh rugby’s EGM?

It seems unlikely but is still technically possible.

The Central Glamorgan Rugby Union (CGRU) initially succeeded in receiving the required 10% of backing from Welsh clubs to call the EGM.

It had proposed three motions, which included a vote of no-confidence in WRU chair Collier-Keywood and Professional Rugby Board (PRB) chair Malcolm Wall.

The third motion involved governance changes which included how the four council WRU members – who sit on the governing body’s board – are elected.

It has since been announced both Collier-Keywood and Wall will be leaving their respective roles. Former Harlequins chairman Wall has been replaced on an interim basis by Marianne Okland, while the process has been started to replace Collier-Keywood.

Following the announcement of those departures, the CGRU wrote to clubs stating it would withdraw the motions and believed the EGM should be cancelled.

The WRU rejected calls for the meeting to be called off, saying legal obligations dictate it must go ahead.

The governing body wrote to member clubs to check if any object to the resolutions being withdrawn from the EGM, given that 40 of the original 50 member clubs that requisitioned the meeting proactively withdrew their support.

If clubs responded to this letter requesting to keep the resolutions on the table, the EGM will open with all members being asked to consent to the withdrawal of the resolutions.

If consent is not obtained, the EGM will continue as originally planned and members will vote on the three resolutions.

If no objections are received, the meeting will take place as an informal meeting which will include a WRU presentation about the “future of rugby in Wales” followed by an open discussion.

Clubs can attend in person at the Principality Stadium or online with at least 95 clubs needed in order for the meeting to begin without delay, if resolutions are to be considered.

WRU board members will be in attendance. Whether outgoing Collier-Keywood – now effectively a “lame duck” chair – is present or speaks remains to be seen, with WRU chief executive Abi Tierney and director of rugby Dave Reddin the other key figures.
