David Moffett: Former NZ Rugby CEO on the possible appointment of David Kirk as NZ Rugby's Chairperson

There are a few wrinkles in the possible appointment of the next New Zealand Rugby Chairperson.  David Kirk is rumoured to be up for the position, the businessman synonymous with New Zealand rugby.  Although being based in Sydney might be a small issue, the larger wrinkle is the Silver Lake deal – a deal that saw the relationship between NZR and the Players’ Association fall to an all-time low.  As Chairperson, Kirk would be in charge of implementing the deal his faction fought against.  Former NZ Rugby CEO David Moffett told Heather du Plessis-Allan he has no issues with this.   He says Kirk is a smart guy, and what’s more, he’s been very successful in business and very successful on the rugby field.  Moffett believes he’d do a great job as Chairperson.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
