RFU STATEMENT 

RFU statement - Response to today's article in the 'Sunday Times

 

Contrary to reports appearing in the Sunday Times the RFU has no proposals to make and will be making no proposals at this stage on the Way Forward project.  

 

Martyn Thomas, Chairman of the RFU Management Board said: “I wrote to the Chairmen of all Guinness Premiership clubs last week setting out the proposed extensive game wide consultation process that the RFU is going to put in place.

 

This process will start on the 9 February 2007 and last for four months. A consultation document is currently being produced. No proposals will be made until the consultation process has been completed”.

 

The RFU will be setting out in more detail the proposed consultation process at its regular monthly media briefing at Twickenham tomorrow.
