RUPA CEO Ross Xenos says ‘disrespect’ from East Coast clubs towards the ARU may have sparked the process that led to cutting a Super Rugby team.
Xenos appeared at the senate inquiry into the future of Australian rugby and suggested that the ARU’s decision to cut a Super Rugby team may have been partly in response to criticism of its grassroots strategy.
The ARU was forced to review its five-year strategic plan after vocal criticism from former players last year and Xenos said that may have been a contributing factor into this year’s decision.
“I think the domestic context of this conversation is important because there has been for a number of years, a groundswell of significant disrespect from various grassroots stakeholders particularly on the East Coast to the ARU,” he said.
“I strongly believe the ARU has felt the need to respond to the way that those grassroots stakeholders perceive the ARU and also to be seen to be doing more for those grassroots stakeholders.
I noticed the committee had said the ARU provided some documents today, no doubt the intention of the timing is so that the Senate inquiry does air any questions or ARU information on the record today.
I hope they call the ARU back - I assume they can because there are a lot questions they need to answer!
Sounds like they need to talk to Gary Gray aswell to see if he was a shareholder in Imperium at the time of the Rebels sale.
It has to be within the next two weeks as the report is due around Nov 15. I would like to hear Reynolds destroy Clyne
Welborn on now
