Rugby Europe: united and focused
Final message from Janhein Pieterse before this week’s Rugby Europe election.
In mid-June, I announced my candidacy for the role of President of Rugby Europe and sent a letter and video to all members of Rugby Europe, explaining why I want to do this. Also, I listed a number of focus points, which I believe are key to enable Rugby Europe to lead the organic growth of rugby in Europe over the next decade and beyond.
This document, “Rugby Europe: united and focused”, revisits these focus points, and elaborates on the challenges and conditions underpinning what must be done to achieve the dynamic and balanced growth of rugby in Europe, based on what has to be a sound financial footing.
This document doesn’t go into the granular detail of specific targets or how and when they should be achieved because that is the responsibility of the Board which is to be newly appointed in November.
1. Introduction
2. Governance and management style
4. One united Rugby Europe, but different support levels required
5. Opportunity for balanced growth
7. Sound financial organization
