As two of the most recognised and respected players from around the world, both are seen as ideally placed to oversee and represent the collective voice of their fellow players from around the globe.

Both players are passionate about making a difference on issues of international importance to the players and the game.

Sexton and McCaw will take an active part on various IRPA Player Advisory Groups and will use their expert opinion and stature to build on the collaborative relationship with World Rugby, the international Governing Body.

Johnny Sexton said," It is fundamental to the success of the game that our playing environments and welfare provisions allow us to compete to the best of our ability".

"It is with this in mind that I am delighted and honoured to be the IRPA's President North."

Richie McCaw added,  " To be invited to work alongside Johnny on behalf of the 4,000 professional rugby players throughout the world is a real honour".

"I have no doubt that Johnny and Richie's leadership and standing in the game will make an immense difference in assisting and advising our  organisation going forward".
