SANZAR Executive Committee decides that the 15th Super Rugby Team decision is to go to Arbitration
The SANZAR Executive Committee met today to consider the applications from Melbourne and the Southern Kings to be the 15th Super Rugby team.
Following discussion it was clear that the Executive Committee would not reach the required unanimity with the ARU expressing its support for Melbourne and SA Rugby expressing its support for the Southern Kings.
As a result no vote was taken by the Executive Committee and it was agreed that the matter should proceed to arbitration in accordance with the SANZAR Joint Venture Agreement.
SANZAR will move quickly to set up an independent arbitration process which will result in a binding decision.
