RFU agrees to special general meeting after rebellion
Sir Bill Beaumont: 'This is a serious moment'

Bill Sweeney's fate as the Rugby Football Union's chief executive will be decided shortly after the Six Nations following an embarrassing U-turn from the governing body which has now relented to a grassroots rebellion and agreed to a special general meeting.

Sweeney has two weeks to set a date for the SGM, which is expected to be held in either late March or early April, after the RFU confirmed that it is "validating the additional information" sent in a letter by the 152 members – a combination of clubs and constituent bodies – calling for the chief executive's removal.
