CEO says even vote of no confidence will not get him outSweeney distances himself from Borthwick appointment
Bill Sweeney has revealed he is determined to stay on as the Rugby Football Union’s chief executive until 2027 – even if he loses a forthcoming vote of no confidence – and refused to apologise for accepting a £358,000 bonus amid record losses and redundancies.
Sweeney also distanced himself from the appointment of Steve Borthwick as England head coach two years ago – the most significant decision during his tenure – on the eve of a make-or-break Six Nations campaign that could pile more pressure on the embattled chief executive.
