Welsh Rugby Union Acknowledges Cultural Issues Revealed in Review | WRR 130
Welcome to the Women’s Rugby Rundown for Nov 13-19. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has shared an independent review that uncovered instances of sexism, misogyny, racism, and homophobia within its culture. The WRU’s new leadership, including Chair Richard Collier-Keywood, incoming Group CEO Abi Tierney, and interim CEO Nigel Walker, has acknowledged the findings and expressed their commitment to addressing these cultural issues.
In more news, Japan solidified their spot in Paris 2024 by emerging victorious in the Asia Olympic Qualifier, with China and Hong Kong securing spots in the Final Qualification Tournament. This completes the roster of auto-qualified teams, and one additional team will join them after the Final Qualification Tournament in June 2024.
Additionally, we explore the start of the Allianz PWR, Round 6 of the Welsh Premiership, Round 8 of the Energia AIL, Round 12 of Scotland’s Premiership, and USA Club, where three champions were crowned in the Midwest and Empire.
We close out the week with 13 features and 6 media.
