WRU EGM Triggered and WER Partners with The Women’s Sports Network | WRR 234

Welcome to WRR 234 for February 16-22. This week, the internal crisis at the Welsh Rugby Union reached a boiling point as community clubs officially triggered an Extraordinary General Meeting to challenge the current leadership. In a major move for the professional game, New Zealand Rugby secured a landmark collective agreement that guarantees a 36.56% revenue share for athletes and introduces significant salary floors for Super Rugby Aupiki players. Stateside, Women’s Elite Rugby announced a game-changing broadcast deal with The Women’s Sports Network to stream every 2026 match for free. Domestic league leaders are currently asserting their authority across the globe, with Saracens reclaiming the top spot in England, Stade Toulousain holding firm in France, and El Salvador remaining perfect in Spain.
