Thomas steps down from RFU
Martyn Thomas has stood down from his position as chairman of the RFU. The announcement came as the RFU’s disciplinary officer published a report into the ousting of former chief executive John Steele in June. It is understood Judge Jeff Blackett’s conclusion called for Thomas’s resignation along with nine non-executives on the management board. He will remain acting chief executive until a permanent appointment is made.
