RFU Statement

The RFU review panel which includes board and executive members along with independent, former players and coaches will hold a series of meetings in the next two weeks to discuss the Autumn Nations campaign and how improvements can be made ahead of the Six Nations.

Bill Sweeney, Rugby Football Union Chief Executive Officer said: “We would like to thank England fans for their patience and support, it matters to us how they feel.  Like them we are really disappointed with the results of the Autumn Nations Series.  Despite strong individual performances and some great new talent coming into the team, the overall results are not where we expect them to be.”

For guidance:

The RFU review panel has been in place since 2019. The group meets regularly during and after each tournament.
