Sir Bill starts work on eligbility rules review
London: Newly re-elected World Rugby chairman Sir Bill Beaumont has revealed an independent governance review would be chaired by British Olympic Association chairman and former sports minister Sir Hugh Robertson.
This is to tackle one of the proposals to alter international eligibility rules.
“It would allow players who might have played in a sevens tournament or might have played an odd game for a tier-one nation, to go back,” he said.
“I just think it gives the opportunity to make some countries who are limited in their player resource.” Sir Bill willcontinue on with his second term starting on May 12.
