Today sees a crucial vote take place for New Zealand Rugby.

A Special General Meeting is taking place, in which the union will vote on the new governance structure.

The proposed changes follow the review last year that found the current model not fit for purpose. 

ZB’s Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking that he doesn’t think they’ll reach the two-thirds needed to pass either model.

He thinks a stalemate is more likely, but Proposal Two, backed by the Provincial Unions, might get closer.
