Jonathan Davies urges WRU board to resign amid criticism

Former Wales captain Jonathan Davies has called for the resignation of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) board amidst dissatisfaction. Welsh business leaders and local politicians are also demanding accountability, specifically targeting chief executive Abi Tierney. The WRU board, which recently lost its chair Richard Collier-Keywood, includes 11 members and is under scrutiny for its plans to reduce the number of professional teams from four to three by 2028. Davies emphasized the need for change, stating that Welsh rugby is losing its connection with the community. The WRU has not yet commented on these calls.
