Rugby Australia (RA) has welcomed a group of 11 former Wallabies captains to meet its board after it was issued with an extraordinary no-confidence letter demanding an overhaul of the governing body's leadership.
World Cup-winning captain Nick Farr-Jones, who has recently been vocal with his criticism of RA, is understood to be the driving force behind the letter delivered to RA chief executive Raelene Castle and the board on Tuesday.
George Gregan, Stirling Mortlock, George Smith, Michael Lynagh, Simon Poidevin, Stephen Moore, Jason Little, Rod McCall, Nathan Sharpe and Phil Kearns are the former skippers along with Farr-Jones to have signed the letter.
The inclusion of Kearns's signature follows calls for the retired Wallabies hooker to replace Castle as RA chief executive, with several of his former teammates pushing his case publicly.
