Lyndon Faulkner is not in his role yet but is already intent on getting to grips with both the WRU's finances and plans to cut a region.
Incoming Welsh Rugby Union chair Lyndon Faulkner has confirmed he plans to review the controversial decision to reduce professional regions from four to three by 2028. The 66-year-old businessman and former Pontypool player rejected suggestions that he was appointed merely to approve existing plans, stating he is not a "yes man" and is open to reconsidering the regional cut.
Faulkner admitted he was surprised by the WRU's recently reported £18 million loss, labeling the governing body's financial situation as worrying. He stressed that managing costs, driving revenue, and addressing the union's debts will be major priorities when he officially takes up his post next month.
