Rugby Australia Interim CEO Rob Clarke will come into his new role with his eyes wide open to the challenges the game faces as he prepares to return to the game after a three-year absence.
Clarke is a former Chief Operating Officer of Rugby Australia.
It has been nearly three years since Clarke was working in rugby, more recently starting up a management consultancy after resigning from his Chief Operating Officer role in mid-2017.
The ex-Brumbies and Rebels CEO was a key player in the organisation in 2017 when Rugby Australia made the decision to axe the Western Force from Super Rugby due to the financial pressures facing the business.
Rugby Australia chairman Paul McLean approached Clarke in recent days to return to the organisation in an interim capacity amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Clarke plans on only remaining in the role for 3-6 months and is adamant he will not be a candidate for the permanent role.
