The Way Forward – Have your say on the future of Elite Rugby in England
The Way Forward Project is a comprehensive review of all aspects of Elite Rugby in England. Its aim is to restore England to its place among the leaders of world rugby at both club and country level, whilst creating a long term structure for continued success in the professional game.
The intended outcome of the process is to agree a lasting solution to the issues that are currently adversely affecting Elite Rugby in England which:
-
Takes into account the interests of both club and country
-
Is right for professional players and for the wider game
-
Restores Elite Rugby in England as a leader in the world game
As part of our broad consultation across all stakeholders, we would like to open this debate to clubs and to the general public. This will ensure that all views are taken into account in determining the solution for the best way forward for the game.
I urge you to share your thoughts and opinions on this project and help us to find the best possible solution for the issues surrounding Elite Rugby.
Francis Baron, OBE
Chief Executive

You can give your feedback on the issues and the options for change at the RFU’s dedicated website. We appreciate that different parts of the game may wish to go into different levels of detail in their responses. The website allows you to choose the level of detail that you are comfortable with.
You can choose the ‘Quick Questionnaire’, dealing with the headline issues only, where you will also be asked to consider which option for change effectively address the key issues and to state your preference. Or you can select the ‘Full Questionnaire’, which incorporates a more extensive range of issues and will take longer to complete.
