Thank you very much for expressing that so forcefully, David. Certainly, it is our intention as a Government to ensure that any programmes that involve community engagement, any programme that develops women's rugby, under 20 rugby, youth rugby—all those commitments are commitments that have been made to us by the WRU, centrally, and it is the WRU, therefore, that is responsible at the moment that that commitment should be delivered. And I will certainly speak with them about this because, clearly, if there are to be any differences, any developments in the structure of the regions, whereas that matter is a matter for regions to discuss, where commitments have being made and public funding has been invested through Sport Wales into the Welsh Rugby Union, then I can assure you that we will pursue the constant delivery of that commitment.
