Glanmor Griffiths has finally decided to leave his position as chairman of the WRU. The scrooge of professional rugby in Wales, has finally decided to quit all his roles in the union after nearly twenty years of amazing stupidity.

How he managed to last so long is anyone's guess, but the important thing is one of the great hangers on from the amateur era has at last hung up his blazer and decided to let the "professionals" get on with it.

Many will say he should be praised for his vision in getting the Millennium stadium built, but however good a stadium it is, it has only proven to push Welsh rugby to the brink of bankruptcy with a debt of nearly seventy million pounds.

He will be remembered for fudging countless EGM's and AGM's in an act to preserve his influence in the game. Sir Taskers report last year was dealt with disgracefully by the committee in their desperation to preserve their status, Glanmor decided bring out his own "counter" proposal's.

We believe now the WRU must be now be completely modernised, split into two seperate bodies. One for the professional game and one for the amateur side of things.
