WRU

This stems from the governance of the union (WRU), it’s archaic in it’s nature.  At the top level, we’ve managed to alienate very professional people (who have left the organisation) and voted off people who have held or applied for senior roles (who have the  business acumen to do the jobs) only to appoint people from grassroots rugby (who have no business acumen whatsoever), just look at the most recent appointment to the position of Chairman of the WRU - you had Ieuan Evans and Nigel Davies, both men have held senior roles in business and had played in both the amateur and professional eras and were coming into the game with some ideas of how to change the game in Wales, what do the grassroots clubs vote for - a school head teacher with a connection to his grassroots club (only in Wales would this happen).

Instead of cherishing these prized assets, they’re being castaway against a background of mediocrity, indecision and/or bad decisions.

The self-servers who think only of the gravy train and their own perks need to realise that they’re heading towards a self-destructive desert where there’s no gravy, no perks, no decent national side and the cash cow of the stadium is mostly empty for matches against Tier 2 teams.
