RFU announces latest financial figures in annual reportUnion also reports loss to reserves of £6.3m up to June 2023
The Rugby Football Union’s decision to sack Eddie Jones and replace him with Steve Borthwick contributed to increased England costs of nearly £5m, according to the organisation’s annual report for the year ending June 2023.
Jones was sacked in December 2022 after a disappointing autumn campaign, with Borthwick taking over later that month. The RFU chose not to put Jones on gardening leave or insert a noncompete clause in his contract but, according to the annual report, he was awarded “a contractually pre-agreed termination payment”.
