00:00 Thank you all for joining. Today is a really important day for Australian rugby.
00:04 A really important appointment for our next steps on the path forward into 2024 with the announcement
00:12 of Peter Horne as Director of High Performance. Director of High Performance will have
00:16 carriage of all the performance elements of Rugby Australia, including the women's game,
00:23 which is clearly a strategic pillar of ours, but across Sevens and our world-league environments.
00:29 So a really exciting appointment for us, given Peter's history across high performance sport
00:35 for over 20 years, world rugby in high performance for over a decade, and as we look to professionalise
00:42 our organisation and particularly through our high performance elements, having Peter join us
00:48 is really exciting for the organisation, for me as a CEO, but for all of rugby across Australia.
