Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
I just wanted to confirm what we've heard—that there's an acceptance of the issues around culture within and across the WRU and the acceptance that there is a rupture in the WRU's relationships between itself as an institution, if you like, and then the…

There's recognition that there are some great people working within the game in Wales, and we recognise that. But what there is is a tragic, if you like, toxicity that exists at board level. And both of you sit on that board. Okay, you've just been appointed…

Yes, and Hayley says that, that there are dedicated and hard-working staff, most of whom are a credit to the game, and she is very clear that the failure is at board level to tackle the toxic and oppressive culture within the union. That's a different thing…

Contents. I accept 'passion'—the word you used—but it's also an analysis, isn't it? It isn't just passion, it's an analysis of a broken culture and a broken relationship. I can't think of anyone with whom the WRU has a healthy relationship at the moment.

It's been part of my life, and to hear—. I want my children to share the same pride as I did in the 1970s, and to experience the same things that I did. I want them to feel that sense of who we are as a country, and the WRU were central to that. One of the…

Thank you. It's heartbreaking, isn't it, to see and to hear what we've seen and heard. I think for those of us for whom rugby has been a part of our lives growing up to adulthood—. I'm 58, I'll be retiring soon—

But it was the WRU, of course, that designed these NDAs. So, it would be for the WRU to actually enable that person, if they so wish, to have those restrictions lifted, to enable them to speak openly about their experiences. And I think that's quite an…

I'm grateful to you for that. The point that Hefin asked you on NDAs—I just wanted to clarify your answer to that. Because one of the allegations that's been made over the last period is that the WRU has used NDAs to prevent members of staff from speaking…

Thanks very much. Can I challenge you a little bit on your assertion, Mr Evans, that you were shocked by what you've learned? I was reading parts of your autobiography that were scathing about the WRU in different ways. You said that there were people on the…

Wel, rydych chi'n sicr wedi cefnogi fy achos ynglŷn â'r angen am graffu seneddol, os dim byd arall. A dydw i ddim yn anghytuno â chi, fel mae'n digwydd, Darren. Mae'n iawn ac yn briodol bod y llywodraeth yn ymwneud â dewis a gwneud dewisiadau, a'r pwynt rwy'n…

Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr araith y Gweinidog heno wrth ofyn ac argymell nad yw'r Senedd hon yn rhoi cydsyniad i'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol hwn. Rwy'n credu y dylem ni fod yn gwneud hynny am ddau reswm: am y rhesymau cyfansoddiadol, ond hefyd am resymau…
