Coronavirus: Rugby Australia CEO takes 50 per cent pay cut

As part of drastic cost-cutting measures, Rugby Australia's CEO will halve her salary during the coronavirus pandemic.

"Even harder decisions" are to come after Rugby Australia (RA) reported a provisional deficit.

Michael Cheika spent five years as Wallabies coach but could not land the two big trophies he wanted to secure a successful legacy.

All administrative staff at Rugby Australia headquarters will work from home for two days due to a coronavirus scare.

The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a plethora of events and tournaments being postponed, but some competitions are set to continue.

Jordan Petaia, who saw his 2019 season blighted by a foot injury, has suffered another setback that will end his Super Rugby season.

Trent Robinson says Michael Cheika is helping Sydney Roosters push themselves further ahead of the new NRL season.

The Waratahs have a new skipper in place ahead of their season opener against the Crusdaers on February 1.

Reece Hodge has agreed to stay on with the Rebels until 2023.

Scott Wisemantel has joined the staff of new Australia head coach Dave Rennie as the Wallabies re-build after the Rugby World Cup.

Rugby Australia (RA) chief executive Raelene Castle defended the decision to settle with Israel Folau.

Former Australia international Israel Folau says he has been "vindicated" after reaching a settlement with Rugby Australia.

Negotiations over Israel Folau's claim to recoup 14 million Australian dollars from Rugby Australia have reached a conclusion.

A round of talks between Israel Folau and Rugby Australia have ended without agreement, but the player is optimistic.

Raelene Castle discussed Australia's attempt to try to lure Eddie Jones back to the Wallabies.

Following Michael Cheika's departure after the Rugby World Cup, Rugby Australia has turned to Dave Rennie.
