The ERC itself will continue to be wound up but, despite chief executive Derek McGrath leaving in October, its remaining staff face an uncertain future. They are expected to be given first refusal on any job at the new body which mirrors their present role but around 16 staff are in limbo about whether they will be offered the opportunity to move to Neuchatel, which EPCR chose as its home so as not to be based in the same country as one of the Six Nations.
