The report was commissioned by the WRU following a BBC Wales investigates programme that raised serious allegations against the governing body in January. Among the throng was Cardiff’s Dmitri Arhip, the Moldovan tighthead prop. He was on crutches having snapped his Achilles tendon last weekend.

They did not, he waited, and now, four months before his contract ends, he faces being unemployable until his injury heals. That could be up to a year. Gatland: ‘Players need to be stronger – they need to have more voice’ Wales will throw the kitchen sink at Ireland in the championship opener in Cardiff but beating Andy Farrell's side will probably be a step too far. Scotland at Murrayfield will be very difficult but it is winnable as is the home clash with England.
