Former England coach Clive Woodward is backing Agustin Pichot's bid for the top job at World Rugby, saying the Argentine can help steer the sport out of its current financial straits.
Pichot, 45, who is vice chair of global governing body, is running against current chairman Bill Beaumont.Woodward, who coached England to World Cup glory in 2003, said rugby, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, would benefit from having a younger leader. "Rugby is very lucky to have such a visionary throwing his hat into the ring at such a crucial time."
"Before Covid-19, rugby was ruled by the 'haves' with the 'have nots' making up the numbers," he added."The old powers need to release their stranglehold on the game which has nearly suffocated it.
