Former Wales centre Jamie Roberts, along with Amanda Bennett and Jennifer Mathias, has been appointed to the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) board. Terry Cobner has also been confirmed as the new WRU president. The board aims to achieve gender diversity following allegations of sexism and misogyny within the organisation.
Former Wales centre Jamie Roberts has been appointed to the Welsh Rugby Union board as one of three new non-executive directors.
Seven of these have appointments now been announced which includes four women from the elite sports and business worlds. "As a recently retired international player I have an immense passion for Welsh rugby," said Roberts, 36. Bennett, a decorated former player with Saracens women, was Wales' first women's fly-half in the inaugural 1987 side and is a veteran of two World Cups. She later became head coach between 1998 and 2000.
In 2021, Amanda Bennett was asked to become a member of the independent panel which carried out a strategic review of the WRU Women's performance programme. Mathias is from a Pembrokeshire farming family and lives in west Wales. She describes herself as a 'deeply commercial' chief financial officer , working for wealth management firm Rathbones, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
