The Strategic Plan: It’s apparently coming, and apparently it is comprehensive. We need it. And we need people to execute it.

Payne discussed a $1MM revenue shortfall we will see in 2017 vs 2016 due to Brexit; I assume it’s the cratering of the Pound Sterling vs. the US Dollar (i.e. from $1.50 t0 approx. $1.228 where it sits today), as well as a loss of a grant from World Rugby.
My comment to this is, “It’s business, and we better figure out a way to find that $1MM and more if we want to grow this game”. What I heard is we have a budgetary shortfall from 2016 to 2017 of over $1MM and it will not be replaced. More…
