[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 904846, member: 73940"] [URL='https://www.worldrugby.org/news/338413']WR Press Release[/URL] I didn't see a % increase from 2016 mentioned anywhere. Really amateur mistake by WR... But calculating it myself it's +7%, which is a bit on the low side. That splits into Tier 1 up 0.2%, and Tier 2 & 3 up 15%.
