Rugby World Cup-winning Wallabies captain Nick Farr-Jones has been confirmed as chairman of the New South Wales Rugby Union by the board at its May meeting.

Farr-Jones, 50, joined the NSWRU board in June 2010 and has held the position of interim chairman since the retirement of Will Jephcott in December.

His appointment follows last month's election of fellow former Wallaby and ex-Waratahs skipper Tim Gavin as president.

He will head a NSWRU board consisting of Christopher Birch, Geoffrey Garland, Arthur Laundy, Peter Medway, Paul Timmins, Peter Veenstra and Bruce Worboys.
