Governing body aims to put in place similar model to that of Ireland and New Zealand.
RUGBY AUSTRALIA HAVE assumed ownership of the ACT Brumbies, as the governing body’s push for greater control of the domestic game gains momentum.
Centralisation would allow Rugby Australia to pool stretched resources with the aim of improving performance – a model similar to New Zealand and Ireland. “Through taking on the ACT Brumbies business, Rugby Australia has committed to managing and supporting the organisation through an exciting period for rugby in Australia,” Brumbies chief executive Phil Thomson said in a statement.
ACT Brumbies are one of Australia’s most successful sides and were the only non-New Zealand team to make the semi-finals in Super Rugby this year.
