Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney's future will be voted on by clubs across England after his critics forced the governing body to call a crisis summit.

The RFU had rejected a petition on Thursday , saying it lacked the number of signatures needed to trigger a meeting of its near 2,000 clubs and organisations.

The rebel movement against Sweeney accused the RFU of "merely postponing the inevitable".
