World #Rugby has been thrown into crisis with Bernard Laporte suspending himself as vice-chairman after he was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence and fined €75,000 by a French court after being found guilty of corruption charges.
The verdict comes just nine months before France hosts the World Cup, over which there now hangs a considerable cloud.
