[QUOTE="ranger, post: 336782, member: 40555"] That doesn't really refute my point.. The Rugby Union of the winning team gets x amount of dollars as prize money. The players association then discusses with the union how much money they players get paid as bonus upon winning the cup (which makes sense because the union only comes into these millions of dollars as a result of the players exploits at the tournament). The players association is effectively making a deal to see each player get a cut of the prize money. I think you will find that every team in the tournament has a similar deal in place should their union receive the prize money. It strikes of selective journalism actually, making out that New Zealand is this corporate power house throwing money around trying to buy themselves a worldcup.. [/QUOTE]
