Prize Money in NH 6 Nations & SH 4 Nations

Hi,

Just curious if the winning countries of both tournaments gets any prize money aswell as a trophy.

Cheers

Yeah, they do.
I think all of the competitors get money for taking part, but the winners get something like £3.5m, with extra (£0.5m?) if they get a grandslam.

Interesting. Does this go specifically to the team to help build the governing union or is it seen as a 'player bonus'? As in, the players and coaches get their share of that money as a bonus.
