Gerard Rushton: mid-Canterbury rugby union chair fires back at NZ Rugby's plan to overhaul the board
New Zealand Rugby has been on the receiving end of criticism from the provinces amid a proposed shake-up to the board.
The national body and several provincial unions remain in a back-and-forth over how to implement a review that recommends sweeping changes to the way the game is governed.
Mid-Canterbury rugby union chair Gerard Rushton says it's important for members of New Zealand's rugby community to be on NZ Rugby's board.
"It's important to have that culture and ensure that the connection back to the community is represented through the board. It's farcical to think rugby can be treated like a corporate."
