SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia Rugby Union Chairman Cameron Clyne on Monday refused to rule out the prospect of all five Super Rugby franchises surviving into next season but said the governing body remained committed to the process of removing one.

Clyne told reporters that the ARU had reluctantly agreed to call an Extraordinary General Meeting on June 20 to discuss the cull of the Western Force or the Melbourne Rebels, as Super Rugby contracts from 18 to 15 teams for next year.
