THE political pressure on the Welsh Rugby Union was raised further today as the Welsh Parliament’s sports committee considered an inquiry into the allegations of misogyny and sexism.

The pressure for political action came after a BBC Wales documentary revealed a toxic culture at the WRU. A former boss at Welsh women’s rugby said she considered suicide because of what she claimed was a “toxic culture” of sexism.

Charlotte Wathan also said a male colleague said in front of others in an office that he wanted to “rape” her.
