Evidence method

How this page is built.

Summary
A clear view of who decides, who scrutinises, how member rights are exercised and what conflicts the current structure carries.
Source
WRU constitution, board minutes where published, regulator filings and public submissions.
What it says
The page maps board roles, member rights, consultation governance, conflicts and oversight points — and proposes independent oversight to test transparency.
Why it matters
Trust in Welsh rugby will not be rebuilt by structural change alone. It will be rebuilt by visible decision integrity — proof, not assertion.
What remains unclear
Whether the existing governance route exposes conflict-of-interest disclosures fully, and whether independent oversight will be accepted before reform.
