WRU wakes up to fight of its life and Jiffy says 'they have to step down'

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) board is facing intense pressure on Friday, August 14, 2026, as regional clubs the Scarlets and Ospreys have publicly accused WRU bosses of choosing the wrong path and lacking transparency in their decision-making. Former player Jonathan Davies ('Jiffy') has called for board members to step down amid the growing crisis. The bruising week for the union has seen widespread demands for the WRU to reveal the evidence underpinning key decisions about the direction of Welsh rugby.
