Rugby Australia chairman Daniel Herbert has responded to a group who has publicly called for the RA board to be sacked.
Rugby Australia chairman Daniel Herbert has fired back at a dissident group of former players and officials who are agitating for the entire RA board to be sacked, and for the game to undergo major governance reform.
The SOARR group, which is made up of former Wallaby and ARU coaching director Dick Marks, former Wallaby Russ Tulloch, former Western Force boss and ARU board member Geoff Stooke and convenor Paul Jonson, oppose the proposed return of a majority of the Rugby Australia board at the AGM next week.
“The overarching thing for me with any of these types of things that occur is: why, if you love a game and you support a game, would you go publicly and do something like that? That doesn’t serve to protect or enhance the reputation or the interests of the game?“And then it’s just the hypocrisy, of some of the people involved, annoys me as well. Some of these people have been involved in the administration and made some of the mistakes, going back some way.
