Not the best start for Tom Ilube
Tom Ilube, who was appointed chair of the Rugby Football Union in August (becoming the first black head of a major national sporting body), in many ways makes a lot of sense, especially when he talks about growing the women’s game and about diversity on and off the pitch.
He is, however, clearly not immune to the usual hyperbole affecting people in positions of power in English rugby when he declares that England “should be and we will be the dominant rugby nation in the world.”
I get where he is coming from in terms of playing numbers and resources etc, but such a statement is massively unhelpful, diluting his overall message and, inevitably, leading to accusations of arrogance.
Much like the various pointless declarations by Eddie Jones that England aim to the be the best in the world, it is a statement that simply does not need to be made.
Of course it is fine to have such aspirations, but to state them so publicly smacks of a sense of conceited entitlement and makes England look utterly delusional when, for instance, they finish fifth in the Six Nations or depart early from a home World Cup.
Actions, Tom, not words…
