The WRU has outlined why the EGM cannot be called off after 50 clubs called for the emergency meeting.
A statement said: “We have enormous respect for the request that CGRU has made, their engagement with the process and that of the 50 clubs whose signatures called this EGM.
“However, we want to be completely transparent about an important point.
“Once an EGM has been formally called under company law and our articles of association, it cannot be cancelled.
“This is not a choice the WRU is making – it is a legal requirement that governs how our democratic processes work and protects the rights of all 282 member clubs, including those who did not sign the original requisitions.
“The EGM will therefore go ahead as planned on Monday, 13 April 2026 at 18.00 BST which will be staged at the Principality Stadium or can be attended online.”
The WRU did postpone an EGM in March 2020 because of the emergence of Covid-19.
