Premiership Rugby has launched a Sporting Commission in what chief executive Simon Massie-Taylor believes is “a landmark moment” for the organisation.

The seven-strong group will be chaired by Nigel Melville and includes former England captain Tom Wood.

Massie-Taylor and Premiership Rugby’s rugby director Phil Winstanley, meanwhile, will be joined by Women in Football director Jane Purdon, Ministry of Justice board member Mark Rawlinson and financial services executive Carys Williams.

As part of its remit, the commission will now rule over matters such as season structure, Premiership Rugby regulations and player-loading.

No idea if thats good or bad.

Seems like something that should have been in place many years ago.

I guess better late than never.

Not convinced anyone from PRL should be involved.

Although I would like to see more involvement from a professional.rugby club background I always groan when I see Nigel Melvilles name, I have yet to recognise any positive contribution from the guy and I don't understand why his name gets out forward.

I made a comment earlier about it being jobs for the boys'! My principal objections also concern Melville.
It seems to me they are determined to spend/waste money rather than send it down to grass roots

Melville? Really?
