SYDNEY (Reuters) - The Australian Rugby Union will forge ahead with plans to cut either the Melbourne Rebels or Western Force from Super Rugby after members endorsed the move at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) in Sydney on Tuesday.

The Victorian Rugby Union and players' association called the meeting last month and tabled a resolution to reconsider the cull, which the ARU had agreed as part of the competition's contraction from 18 teams to 15 next year.
