Under-fire Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) chair Richard Collier-Keywood will step down from his role this summer at the end of his three-year term.

Collier-Keywood has been in position since 2023 but will exit on 16 July after deciding not to seek a second term.

The announcement comes ahead of an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Monday, 13 April at which he is due to face a vote of no confidence.

“I have been reflecting with the board on what should happen next,” said Collier-Keywood.

“We wanted to make this announcement to enable the recruitment process to start and before the EGM is held so everyone goes into the EGM process with the benefit of the same knowledge.”
