Super Rugby Side ACT Brumbies Board Gets Shake-Up

Super Rugby side ACT Brumbies has "voted for change following a record financial loss this year," ousting Chair Sean Hammond and replacing him with new board member Rob Kennedy, according to Chirs Wilson of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Kennedy, of Canberra accounting and consultancy firm Synergy, "is one of four fresh faces on the Brumbies board after a dramatic night of change at the annual general meeting." There had been "rumblings about a potential leadership challenge" before the meeting, given the Brumbies "bled a record" A$1.07M ($900,000) in financial losses this year. But Kennedy "was a surprise candidate, voted on to the board and then straight into the chairman's role." Hammond "not only lost the chair but he failed to win back a seat on the board." The "massive shake-up" at board level "continues a period of instability for the Brumbies." In the past 15 months, head coaches Jake White and Laurie Fisher "have quit." The Brumbies "are also searching for their third chief executive in just over a year" (SMH, 12/16).
