[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 862243, member: 20605"] I don't think your math is right They made a total of A$140m during the year the Lions toured (2013)... that dropped to $100m in (2014) the following year (no Lions, no RWC) so the difference between a Lions year and a non-Lions year with no RWC is A$40m At current exchange rates A$40m = £23m and they get that every 12 years (so £1.9m p.a.) The four Home Unions get about £1m each per union, per tour. Three tours in 12 years, so that is 4 x 3; about £1m per year. Averaged out, the split is Lions £1m ARU £1.9m p.a. Yes is not an even share, but its nowhere as inequitable as you are claiming. IMO this is a fair balancing of the revenues considering that the RWC costs the three SANZAAR unions a huge chunk of revenue through not being able to run a full Rugby Champion in RWC years... Six Nations does not have to face this problem. [/QUOTE]
