Ruck the WRU @ruckthewru.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s good that Welsh Gov is paying attention but they have little direct power over how the WRU is run. Neither can they force the WRU to answer questions about the way the union is run and how it spends its money. The power rests with member clubs. Do you see the problem? 480
