A civil war has been sparked after a vote at NZ Rugby’s headquarters saw Proposal Two passed.
It passed with a majority, 69 votes for and 21 against.
New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association CEO Rob Nichols claims the game could now be in an even worse position than before.
He said that Proposal One, which adopted more of the recommendations from the Pilkington report, was a great opportunity for the game to make the changes required.
ZB’s Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking that while it is a democracy, this is not the end of the saga by any stretch.
He said that eyes are now on the provincial unions to implement their ideas, board, and get on with it.
It’s time to see whether they can put their money where their mouth is and whether they can govern the game, Smith said.
