In Rugby SportsBiz
Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan was sacked last night as the State unions continue to fight over major centralisation plans for the sport.
McLennan had rejected a call from six rebellious state unions to resign by 5pm Sunday, before an extraordinary general meeting voted him out.
The businessman will be replaced immediately by former Wallaby Dan Herbert, with McLennan opting to quit the board entirely rather than remain as a director.
It comes, after Rugby Australia’s plan to centralise the structure of the sport in the wake of the World Cup disaster, with Rugby Australia to create a unified high performance program and effectively take charge of the Super Rugby franchises’ commercial functions.
While NSW Rugby and Rugby Victoria supported the plan, as did Andrew and Nicola Forrest who own the Western Force, McLennan was sent a damning letter of no confidence by the Queensland, ACT, West Australian, South Australia, Tasmanian and Northern Territory state unions on Friday.
See you later mate!
In the ICC Cricket World Cup:
Australia are World Cup champions once again, defeating India by six wickets in front of 92,453 fans at Narendra Modi Stadium to lift the coveted trophy for a sixth time.
Travis Head, named Man of the Match, pummeled India’s world-class bowlers throughout the run chase, scoring a masterful 137 runs off 120 balls to help Australia chase the 241-run target with 42 balls to spare.
And that’s a wrap!
And that’s a wrap!
