News Ltd are busy throwing their weight behind Wiggs to become CEO:
Australian rugby’s most successful administrator John O’Neill has known Wiggs for 30 years and believes he should be RA’s next chair. He thinks Wiggs is the man to lead the charge in recruiting a “high calibre” CEO after Castle’s exit last Thursday.
“He is intelligent, hardworking, dedicated and fiercely determined,” O’Neill said. “Qualities that are absolutely needed in meeting RA’s challenges in this incredibly difficult time. Leadership is a foul-weather friend and I genuinely believe Peter Wiggs is the leader for this time. It’s imperative to move forward quickly, without any baggage.
“He is forensically gifted and will see through the bluff and blunder and can identify the problem and more importantly find the solution.” O’Neill, a former CEO of the Australian Rugby Union, added: “In addition to his commercial acumen he has an inarguable affection and affinity for the game of rugby.”
Wiggs has another high-profile supporter in Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll. The pair have known each other for 42 years and played rugby together for Mosman.
“He’s very smart, very intelligent, honest and plain speaking,” Carroll said. “He enjoys his rugby and cares about the game.
“He’s not a person just fronting up for the sake of something to do, he cares about the game, he’s been a great supporter of Mosman rugby club over the years, through helping out.”
McLean has stated he will be gone “sooner rather than later” and he is currently pencilled in to exit the executive-chairman’s role by July. Many have questioned the practicalities of an interim-chair overseeing the recruitment of a new CEO, given McLean may not be there later.
One certainty is that there is a movement in full swing for Wiggs to become Rugby Australia’s next chairman.

I wonder if I should send in my CV. I played rugby and lived in Mosman briefly. That's enough for a board position surely?

No. I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being with a degree from the university of life, a diploma from the school of hard knocks, and three gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the shit kicked out of me.

Wait on pal, I also lived in Mosman for 2yrs, and while I played my rugby for Colleagues, I often played AGAINST Mosman. So I have been on BOTH sides of the Mosman wank, which means I can understand the fancy rich folk as well as the poor, working class plebs of the Eastern Suburbs.
My CV is in the mail.

The ARU you only have to halve 2/3rds of fuck all
Although, the healthy dose of memory and delusion will be difficult to reduce

More deck chair shuffling on the HMAS Rugby Australia:
New Rugby Australia director Peter Wiggs has resigned.
The Supercars chairman and Archer Capital co-founder joined the RA board on March 30 and was poised to take the reins as chairman until a fallout over his plans to install Australian Olympic Committee boss Matt Carroll as chief executive without going through a recruitment or interview process.
Rugby AU Chairman Paul McLean says Raelene Castle suffered bullying during the final few months of her tenure at the organisation.
Wiggs also wanted to appoint Carroll's former boss, long-running former RA chief executive John O'Neill, to a director's role on the board.
Several RA directors raised concerns over the method behind both suggested appointments, leading to Wiggs threatening to resign. He did so this morning, board sources confirmed.
