New Zealand rugby is facing a potential civil war as leading players are considering setting up a breakaway body to govern the professional game in the country, just ahead of two Tests against England in July. The dispute stems from disagreements over governance reforms following a review that found New Zealand Rugby was not fit for purpose. The players are demanding changes to the governance structure, threatening to split the professional game in two if their ultimatum is not met at a special general meeting on May 30.
