Performance director Niall Walker to take up role of acting CEO
Charlotte Wathan, general manager of women’s rugby until her resignation last February, spoke of how a male colleague said in front of others in an office that he wanted to “rape” her, while another unnamed contributor says she was left contemplating suicide by her experiences of bullying and sexism at work.
Phillips attended the meeting about the new taskforce, but had since decided it was “time for someone else to lead the way”. “This is a sport I love and is so admired around the world and I wish everyone involved in the game every success and my heartfelt best wishes. “I am on record already saying how much I hugely regret the feelings and emotions expressed recently by former members of staff.”“There is no doubt that Welsh rugby is facing an existential crisis,” Walker said. “This has been a wake-up call. Perhaps it is a call that has been overdue. The first step to any recovery is admitting the problem.
