The chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union said the governing body will review their processes and procedures in order to ensure the welfare of employees after allegations of sexism were made in a BBC documentary.
"I am sorry to see how individuals who have worked for us felt. Our culture was not where it needed to be, when we have employees not feeling confident enough to speak up between 2017 and 2019," WRU CEO Steve Phillips said in a statement on Tuesday.

Phillips said on Tuesday that he strongly condemned the use of racist, homophobic or sexist language of any kind.
