Australian Rugby Union chief executive Raelene Castle believes their Super Rugby franchise must capitalise on the increasing success of their 7s teams in Sydney last night.
Castle, who began her new job as the boss of Australian rugby last Monday, was a spectator at the Sydney 7s in what is her first appearance at a major tournament since she took the reins.
The former Bulldogs boss has a major job ahead of her to rebuild the ARU after a difficult 2017, when rugby was plagued by off‑field drama in relation to the axing of the Western Force from Super Rugby.
Castle has spent her days in the job meeting as many people as she can within the code and plans to travel to every state in a bid to develop relationships with relevant stakeholders.
The 2018 Super Rugby season will start next month.
