Explainer: What next for English rugby after Bill Sweeney survives RFU no confidence vote?

67% Informative
The RFU Special General Meeting was a highly significant event for English rugby.
It was a first SGM of its kind in 20 years and an opportunity for the game at all levels to hold the powers-that-be to account.
Chief executive Bill Sweeney has been given a clear mandate by the game to continue in his role.
The appointment of the next permanent chair is crucial, with Beaumont 's interim role ending in the coming months .
Sweeney is valuable to the point of being irreplaceable, according to Barnes , an RFU board member since September .
Sweeney 's hand has been strengthened, although the Twickenham executive team would be wise to heed the resentment from RFU foot soldiers.
