Former England skipper Beaumont will step down in November after two terms in charge and the governing body's council will vote for the new chairman the same month.

The 54-year-old Robinson will reportedly compete primarily with Scotland's John Jeffrey, the current vice-chairman, for rugby union's top job.

Jeffrey has been touted as the continuity candidate.
