Yep suspect everyone has to be careful I suppose as noone gets to be a multi billionaire by throwing money around. Think both NZR and RA will be treading carefully , same with the likes of CVC owning the rights to the comps, they need to keep control.
What chance is there that Twiggy gets RM Williams on as the new Wallabies jumper sponsor? Back in Australian hands, iconic brand could be a good fit.
It'll be interesting to see how the CVC aspect works out in UK/Euro.
The amount of money I would spend on a RM's Wallabies jersey is astronomical. Absolutely sick of these 'form' fitting jersey's that don't breathe. A cotton jersey with a collar is what will bring RA back in the black, I guarantee it.
Liking the look of the Nine/Stan deal.
Anyone got the inside word on the broadcast deal is for the international games?
100 mil for just the domestic side of the comp seems like a great deal. Think we should all tip our caps to Ralene Castle for sticking two fingers to Fox at the start of negotiations.

It includes International, including all incoming games for NZ and SA, as well as NZ and SA domestic rugby. I not sure if there some kind of payment to NZR and SA for the rights, which would certainly take a bit off it, but I think it looks a great outcome to me, and good to see the SH partners working together .
My understanding is that the SANZAAR agreement includes each other getting the rights to their leagues and home test matches.

Apologies, I was confused with the original wording. Understand though that potentially more money to come for the International Broadcast rights to the Wallabies games which was apparently quite lucrative last time.
I thought it was the NZ timeslot that draws in the audience as the SA slot just clashes with their own product on offer. Even now with limited rugby in Europe Super Rugby in SA is getting as much attention as SRAU did (basically nothing), whereas NZ games (even when their rugby resumed) was drawing attention.Super Rugby and Rugby Championship rights are both quite lucrative, however the SUper Rugby rights may not get as much this time given they aren't in the European prime-time-slot anymore, thats what South Africa brought to the party.
