WELLINGTON - Rugby's governing body defended its election processes on Thursday after a report accused it of allowing backroom deals in the vote for a new chairman and said it had ignored corruption in the Pacific.
"PRPW submits this alleged agreement may amount to bribery and that it suggests that the election was deliberately manipulated," it said."World Rugby is completely satisfied that the 2020 chairperson election was undertaken in accordance with a robust process with Sir Bill Beaumont elected in a fair and appropriate manner," it said in a statement.
It said rugby unions in the region had been undermined by a process of"state capture", where senior government officials took top roles and did not govern in the best interests of the game.
