Louis Rees-Zammit led yet more criticism of the Welsh Rugby Union after it was confirmed Sir Tom Jones’ famous song Delilah will not be sung by matchday choirs at Principality Stadium.
The WRU was last week rocked by allegations of sexism, racism and misogyny which led to former chief executive Steve Phillips resigning from his post.
Now another storm has erupted over Delilah – a song that references the murder of a woman by her partner after he finds out she has been unfaithful.
Delilah hasn’t been part of the WRU’s half-time entertainment and music playlist since 2015 and now Welsh rugby choirs who perform on the pitch before matches have been told it is officially off limits.
Wales wing Rees-Zammit took a thinly-veiled swipe at the WRU, who also have contractual issues to sort out with their players as well as the ongoing sexism scandal.

He tweeted: ‘All the things they need to do and they do that first.’
The WRU cannot stop Wales fans singing Delilah in the stands, but no official performance of the song will take place at their home games in Cardiff.
