NZ Rugby is aiming to overhaul its governing structure.
The board released a proposal aiming to change the sport’s leadership structure and create generational change for the game.
It comes off the back of the Pilkington report, which found that the current structures aren’t fit for purpose and would see them transition to a fully independent model.
The Provincial Unions want to ensure that at least three board members have at least two years of experience on a provincial board, but Chair Dame Patsy Reddy said that she’ll resign if the proposal is altered.
NZ Rugby Players’ Association CEO Rob Nichol told Mike Hosking that the game is suffering challenges, but also has fantastic opportunities from community grassroots, global engagement, and high performance.
He said that everyone’s accepted the findings of the report and the need for change, but the board is set up in a way where the best interests of RNZ need to be answerable to the stakeholders.
