Following the England debacle, it was left to interim head coach Matt Sherratt to say there needs to be a Welsh rugby reset and change to the foundations of the game.
There have been no public comments following another disastrous Six Nations campaign yet from chief executive Abi Tierney or chair Richard Collier-Keywood.
Former Wales captain Sam Warbuton believes the governing body need to be more vocal and transparent to the fans.
“The key stakeholder in the WRU is the fans, who are paying £100 a ticket to come here,” Warburton told the BBC.
“I think they deserve to know. As a company, I think it’s really good to get buy-in from the fans and say ‘look, this is our mission, this is what we want to do, this is our one, three, five-year plan, this is what we want to achieve’. I think people have the right to do that.
“People are they’re losing faith now but they’ll lose faith even quicker if there is radio silence.
“If they just come out and say what the plan is you want to get the public onside.”
Warburton added: “The reason Welsh rugby survives is because we can fill out 75,000 here [at the Principality Stadium] and all that money filters down into the pro teams, into age-grade, into grassroots.
“Without the internationals and the fans coming, there’s not much of a game in Wales, so you’ve got to keep fans onside.”
