An exclusive interview with rugby's 'most wanted' man, CEO of the
Rugby Football Union (RFU), Bill Sweeney. Before
he faces a vote of no confidence next week, Gabby and Mark asked
him all the tough questions.

How can he justify taking a bonus of over
£350,000, making his pay £1.1m, after posting losses of
£40m, making dozens of redundancies and seeing three top-tier
clubs go bust? Is the RFU fit for purpose or
does it move too slowly to get anything done?

Could they do more to promote school sport right now with the
success of Adolescence and Gareth
Southgate's recent speech on toxic role models? And are
they really considering moving Twickenham to accommodate more
Beyoncé concerts?
