X factor: Rhydian Roberts Dropped By Welsh Rugby Team
X Factor runner up, Rhydian Roberts has been snubbed by his national rugby team, after he was banned from singing the national anthem before a game.
Previously, Rhydian had previously been asked to perform at a major game, but in a massive u turn this week, executives have now dropped him from the programme.
A WRU spokesman said: “Our focus now is on using community choirs.”
Rhydian’s uncle Nigel Roberts told The People: “It is astonishing. We feel the WRU has messed up.”

WRU excuse is rubbish. I have never seen or heard of a choir
anywhere near a sporting event. Exception being the Olympics.
Probably the real reason is they prefer Kathryn Jenkins.

This is really awful. Rhydian would have been great to have at this sporting event and he really loves the game and help promote rugby. It’s a bit mean spirited if you ask me.
Sorry Maureen I have t diasagree, there are always a welsh male voice choir at the Millenium Stadium before welsh internationals. I would have liked Rhydian to perform, however I can see where they are coming from. Kathryn Jenkins has also been shunned in favour of the choir.
