Pichot has vowed to jolt World Rugby out of 'copy and paste mode' if he manages to unseat chairman Sir Bill Beaumont, with online video game Fortnite an unlikely pillar of his plan.

The Welsh Rugby Union publicly threw their weight behind Sir Bill Beaumont (left) today, backing him to retain his role as World Rugby chairman and beat rival Agustin Pichot.

Sir Bill Beaumont will discover on Saturday if, as expected, he has been elected to continue as World Rugby chairman for another four years - after the result announcement was brought forward.
