Why this petition matters
Bill Sweeney has been CEO of the RFU since May 2019. In that time we have seen:
The English professional game collapse with three Premiership clubs folding (Wasps, Worcester Warriors, London Irish). And now Jersey in the Championship.
Sweeney was criticised by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). MP Julian Knight asked Sweeney: "You, frankly, have failed in this instance, and so has the RFU. Should you not be looking at your own position?"
The botched handling of the decision to lower the tackle height at community level creating "anger and concern" that led to an RFU u-turn.
Eddie Jones reappointed to the position of England men's team head coach and then resign with less than a year to go before the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Steve Borthwick appointed as the new England men's team head coach in December 2022. Since then, Steve Borthwick has overseen just three wins out of nine, including a record home loss to France and a first ever defeat to Fiji.
We believe Bill Sweeney should be held accountable for these actions and decisions as CEO of the RFU and believe he should resign as a result.
