Masotti is the interesting one.

Wray's still involved.

Masotti is the interesting one.

The inly time I've heard anything about him is when he went to bat for Rassie in the dispute with World Rugby. I assume he's been brought in to ensure that Sarries are still widely disliked despite Wray's "departure".

Wray's still involved.

Yeah, presumably his shareholding is reduced, but has anything else changed? His daughter is still CEO, but of course his role will be "passive".
