Here is the 2nd in a series of 4 on how to move WRU forward using a blank sheet of paper. No Guts, No Glory: How to Save Welsh Rugby from the Brink By David Moffett, former CEO of Welsh Rugby Welsh rugby is in turmoil. Once the pride of a nation, it now teeters on the edge of irrelevance—both on and off the field. As the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) wrestles with governance crises, financial instability, and lackluster performances, the organization seems to have lost touch with the very principles that once made Welsh rugby great. Having led Welsh rugby through transformative years, I watch with frustration as my warnings from the 2014 Manifesto—or as it’s known, the Moffesto—continue to play out in real-time. The WRU’s refusal to embrace meaningful change has led to a catastrophic decline, and recent governance reforms that bow to fashionable ideologies confirm the adage, Go Woke, Go Broke. But all is not lost. Welsh rugby can be saved if it has the courage to embrace bold, decisive action. Here are the four things I would do to restore glory to the WRU and the game in Wales. 2. Streamline Governance: Replace Politics with Purpose The WRU’s governance structure has long been its Achilles’ heel. While the recent reforms aim to modernize, they lack the radical overhaul required. What Welsh rugby needs is a streamlined board composed of experts who understand the game, business, and community. Everyone should only meet a single criteria – are they the best person for the job? The idea that the WRU should appoint a chair and CEO based on alternating gender rather than merit is fundamentally flawed. This rushed decision, made in the wake of efforts to address the WRU's toxic culture, reflects misguided priorities. Leadership roles should be filled by the best-qualified individuals, irrespective of gender, to ensure robust governance and effective decision-making. Fans deserve nothing less than the most capable people steering Welsh rugby toward success, focusing on their expertise and vision rather than tokenistic measures. Very rarely are these people found in the ‘big end of town’. The WRU should prioritize decisions that benefit the game across Wales, from grassroots to professional levels. This means creating a clear separation between governance and operations, empowering professionals to lead with accountability.

"Daily Did You Know?" Yesterday was #AFL, so today is National Rugby League (#NRL). Did you know that at the end of this #NRLSeason, St.George Bank will no longer sponsor the St George Illawarra Dragons. It has been a #40yr sponsorship - again one of the longest in Australian sport! It was a match made in heaven - a brand sharing the same name as the team it was sponsoring - what are the chances!? Whilst not surprising, given the legend of St. George, the #NRLTeam is called the Dragons & the bank also has had a green dragon as part of its brand since 1970! St.George Bank has been there for a lot of change & success in the past 40yrs - 2 x Runners Up, 3 x Minor Premierships, 1 x Premiership, the Super League Wars, the merger with the #IllawarraSteelers, strong surge in women's NRL fandom and participation, and explosion in media platforms covering the club. But what went wrong with this dream partnership? Off field scandals and poor on field performance in recent years (I suspect more of the former and compared to the latter) lead St.George Bank to say this #2024NRLseason would be its last (don't worry Dragons fans, you have #TwiggyForrest's Squadron Energy taking over from St.George Bank in 2025 - interestingly, Twiggy's first sponsorship foray into the NRL). Its not the first time this has happened (and likely won't be the last), but I'm interested to hear what other notable sponsorships come to your mind where they have ended due to off field issues? #Sponsorships #OffFieldIssues #PoorPerformance #WaterTightContractClauses

POH asks why the AFL grand final does not recognise the losing team Why don’t runner’s up in the Australian Rules Football grand final receive consolation medals or rings? In Australian Rules Football, the tradition is that only the winning team in the Grand Final receives premiership medals and the premiership cup. The runner-up team does not receive consolation medals or rings as part of the tradition and culture surrounding the sport. This practice emphasizes the significance of winning the premiership, which is considered the ultimate achievement in the league. The focus is on celebrating the champions, and the absence of consolation awards for the runners-up reinforces the competitive nature of the sport. While it may seem harsh, this tradition is part of what makes the Grand Final such a prestigious and highly coveted event in Australian Rules Football. Additionally, some clubs and organizations may choose to recognize their players in other ways, but officially, the league does not provide medals or rings for the runners-up.

Australia Basketball League (NBL1) 🇦🇺 🏀 Australia’s NBL1 is one of the best mid-tier professional basketball leagues out there. In total, there are 5 conferences. But amongst them, one nice little wrinkle exists in the NBL1 East. Here, players compete against Australia’s best young basketball prospects through the Centre of Excellence. In fact, huge nearly every big Aussie NBA name has come through here: ▪️Patty Mills ▪️Joe Ingles ▪️Dante Exum ▪️Andrew Bogut Overall, the COE’s inclusion provides a mutually beneficial experience. Older players can leverage that film/experience for their resumes. Meanwhile, younger athletes get to compete against grown men as they prep for something bigger! #overseasbasketball #basketball #basketballplayer #fiba #hoos #nbl1

What do these things have in common❓ Missed 9000 shots Lost more than 300 games Missed the winning shot 26 times Failing over and over again... They are the stats from Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll. Despite these failures, Brian attributes them to his learned experience to help him to become a legend in the game. It's Friday and the linkage to rugby continues this week. What learned or lived experience have you harnessed to propel you forward❓ I'd love to hear from you, please comment below ⬇️ #managementdevelopment #managementtips #managementskills
