Rugby Australia Chairman Ousted After Board Meeting

Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan has been ousted from his position following an extraordinary late-night board meeting. The decision comes after six member unions, including Queensland, the ACT, and RugbyWA, demanded his resignation. McLennan's bid to hold onto his job came to an end after the emergency board meeting on Sunday night. Former Wallaby Daniel Herbert, who was part of the 1999 World Cup-winning team, has been announced as McLennan's replacement. McLennan chose to leave the board entirely instead of remaining as a director. This marks the end of a tumultuous chapter in Australian rugby.
