Rugby Australia’s board is set to meet with 11 former Wallabies captains after they called for leadership change at the organisation.

The group of former captains, including Nick Farr-Jones, George Gregan, Michael Lynagh, Simon Poidevin, Phil Kearns, Rod McCall, Jason Little, Nathan Sharpe, Stirling Mortlock, George Smith, and Stephen Moore, co-signed a letter sent to Rugby Australia yesterday calling for change.

The skippers also asked for a special general meeting by the end of the month to air their concerns and force change.

Rugby Australia responded to the letter in a statement last night, inviting the group to meet with the board at “their earliest convenience”.

In the statement, the national body said it “welcomes the involvement of the group in its current process to review the rugby landscape as it navigates the effects of the global COVID-19 health and economic crisis.”
