Australia’s long‑running Super Rugby team axing saga is set to be thrashed out behind closed doors at an extraordinary general meeting of the Australian Rugby Union on June 20.
The ARU has locked in the date for the meeting, which will be held in Sydney three days after the Wallabies’ Test against Scotland at Allianz Stadium, and four days before they face Italy at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
The meeting was called by the Victorian Rugby Union and the Rugby Union Players’ Association, both seeking answers on how the ARU intends to proceed with its declared intent to cut one of the five Australian franchises from Super Rugby.
In the Super Rugby this week, the Blues play the Reds in Samoa at 7.35pm this Friday.
The Crusaders take on the Highlanders at 2.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs play the Waratahs at 5.05pm, the Brumbies play the Rebels at 9.45pm while the Force take on the Hurricanes at 11.55pm Saturday.
