'A CYCLE OF FAILURE' - INVESTOR'S DAMNING VERDICT ON WRU

A DAMNING statement about the Welsh Rugby Union from new Scarlets investor Kirsti Jane has emerged on social media.

US-based House of Luxury has decided to invest in Scarlets despite the WRU's suggestion it could cut two of the regions in a review set to begin in the coming weeks.

Writing on Linkedin last month, shortly after Wales lost their 18th successive Test match against Japan, she tore into the WRU's leadership and criticised current CEO Abi Tierney.

With Ospreys and Scarlets refusing to sign the new Professional Rugby Agreement, Kirsti wrote that the WRU has "no direction. No guts" after the two-year notice period was issued.

Of course, the Welsh men’s side ended their sorry 18-match losing streak with victory over the Brave Blossoms in the second Test of their summer tour, but there is much to improve across the board in Wales, as Kirsti explains.

“Wales' losing streak hits 18,” she began on Linkedin. “Breaking records, just not the kind anyone wants. I was going to say, don't worry... I'm sure WRU CEO Abi will find some more flowers to cut from the budget but honestly, its not a joke. It shouldn't be. But suits at the top are treating it like it is.
