The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has received a requisition from community clubs to call for an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).

The WRU will now follow its agreed governance process for these matters, the next steps are:

The WRU must verify the requisition to ensure it is fully compliant with the process in our Constitution and Articles of Association.

Within 21 days of receipt of a requisition by sufficient member clubs the WRU must give notice of the proposed date of the EGM.

Once notice is given, the EGM itself must be held within 28 days.

The WRU published its plans for the Future of the Elite Game in Wales at the end of October 2025, following an extensive consultation process.

We are now focused on rolling out that plan and have been working tirelessly with the key stakeholders during the last months to agree a consensus on its implementation.

This detailed work has been undertaken with the professional clubs, the United Rugby Championship and player representatives, and we remain committed to reaching consensus on the next steps.

We ask all stakeholders to continue working with us. We recognise that change is challenging, but it is essential for the long-term health of the game in Wales.
