Prop 1 was Pilkington

It will be interesting to see if there is a bit of a divide between the provinces that supported different proposals.

As reported the the NZHerald live feed. Nice to see some constructive talk from a leading player that's not essentially Rob Nichol taking the NZRPA ball and going home.
Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu responds to Proposal 2 being voted in
“I’m a bit disappointed,” he said.“But it’s for the future of rugby, whatever we decide, we have to do it together.
“From here on out, the conversation has to be open. Although Proposal 1 didn’t go through, we have to work together to try and get to where we want to.”

Or more importantly, within SR franchises. That appears to be the case at the Chiefs (Waikato/Taranaki vs BOP). I've no idea how CM voted.

The shareholders have made their (decisive) decision. Anyone not in alignment with this decision should step aside. Not try and continue fighting
Starting with the NZR Board. A good starting point anyway would be to appoint a new Board using this new proposal. Hopefully it can attract the required talent.

Well done to NZR for holding this on budget day too.

And on no Rebels in Super Rugby day. And all the rest of the news headlines too...

Sounds like Rob Nicol has backed down on original comments
Where is that?
I see 'expressed disappointment'?
I wouldn't expect them to throw the toys today, I would expect they'll now make a decision to live with it or try to do something else?

You understand that is exactly what the professional players have threatened?
I'm fascinated to see whether they go through with it or not.

Rugby: Players Association boss Rob Nichol reaffirms commitment to split from NZR after 'disappointing' vote | Newshub
Rob Nichol says it's a "missed opportunity" for rugby in New Zealand.
Nicholl says NZRPA will now begin working with its stakeholders to establish that independent panel. "We aren't going running out of this country or anything like that," he clarified. "We're more committed to rugby and professional rugby in this country than anyone, including the community game and grass roots. "What we're talking about is a tribunal that comes together in order to ensure really good decisions on behalf of the professional game, to make sure it's effective and efficient as possible, and delivers what the game wants in this country. "We want to put something together where we come together to make sure we make really good decisions for pro rugby. What we won't do is trust New Zealand Rugby under this government structure to go off and make those decisions by themselves. The model isn't unprecedented, with French rugby currently operating with a governing body that runs the game alongside the national union. "It's coming from a perspective of what we feel the professional game is going to need in terms of connecting those stakeholders and getting them together, making good decisions and getting them on the same page getting good alignment. "So we'd be surprised if people don't want to go down the path." -

My view this is a great day for rugby. The PU's made a stand and refused to have all the power grabbed from them. But, also realize that NZR needs a much better-quality Board. This might now happen
And Aust now only has 4 super rugby teams. It should be three but 4 is much better than 5.
Rob should accept this decision and see how it works out. If the new Board is as bad as the old one, then do his thing. If he can't do this then step aside. Because he's creating a very negative energy that NZ rugby doesn't need. Esp right now
