BILL SWEENEY will face a vote of no confidence tomorrow that could leave the Rugby Football Union chief executive fighting for his Twickenham future.

English rugby’s community game had gathered enough support by January to trigger a special general meeting on March 27 that will see a resolution tabled calling for Sweeney to be sacked by the board.

While the RFU’s executives are not obligated to act if the motion is passed, Sweeney would be significantly weakened if the grassroots revolt succeeds with his critics viewing his position as untenable.
