Just to keep @Which Tyler company in this thread...!
Results of the World Rugby elections will be revealed on May 12. Contested election between Chairman Bill Beaumont (English) and vice-chair Agustin Pichot, with Australia and a lot of smaller countries backing Pichot.
From what I've read, Pichot is basically a proponent of a soccer-style World Cup qualification system and building the game in the smaller countries.
Beaumont will probably win but whoever does get it is going to be presiding over a pretty big mess.
