MELBOURNE – Phil Kearns has been appointed executive director of Australia's bid for the 2027 Rugby World Cup and the former Wallabies hooker has ruled himself out of the running for Rugby Australia's vacant chief executive role.
He was among those demanding change at RA earlier this year and was a signatory to a letter from former Wallabies captains calling on the governing body's leadership to resign. "I think over the last three or four weeks in particular there's been a really big shift in confidence in a lot of people that I talk to and I do think it's heading in the right direction," he told reporters.Kearns had previously been in the running to replace Bill Pulver as RA CEO but lost out to Raelene Castle, who resigned in April after losing the board's confidence.
