A boom period for England rugby has seen the ruling body's turnover and payment to its lead executive top those of the FA for the first time.
FA accounts for last season show chief executive Martin Glenn had a package of £591,000, with a record overall turnover of £370million.
Yet the RFU's hosting of a successful 2015 World Cup — despite England being knocked out early — brought in £407m, double the usual figure, and led to CEO Ian Ritchie being paid £700,000.
