LILLE, France : Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney said English and world rugby was"on the cusp of something quite spectacular" and he remained the right man to lead the biggest and richest union in the sport after year of turmoil.
"I came into this role because I am passionate about this game," he said late on Wednesday from England's World Cup base in France. "This is a unique moment, an opportunity in time to fix the things that have stopped us winning Six Nations championships on a regular basis," Sweeney added. It will include some version of"enhanced contracts" for 25 England players that would give the national team more control over them - though the clubs would keep control of selection.
