New WRU chair must confront the uncomfortable truth and drive home URC exit

Lyndon Faulkner’s appointment as chair of the Welsh Rugby Union has prompted a mixed reaction, with some hailing an astute appointment and others questioning anything the governing body does after years of disillusionment with Welsh rugby. Those familiar with Faulkner’s business career have welcomed the move , while a section of supporters have long since turned their backs on the WRU, regarding anything associated with the organisation as a farce. There is little doubt that Faulkner brings an impressive CV to the role.
