Sir Bill Beaumont has been appointed as the interim chairman of the Rugby Football Union after Tom Ilube stepped down, sparking a civil war within the organisation amid accusations of “bullying, entitlement and elitism” between RFU council factions.
On another dramatic day at the RFU, Ilube’s departure comes after an extraordinary emergency council meeting on Wednesday with some members accusing others of behaving like “a mob”.
