    @stormersboy(stormersboy)-143:
    You are correct, NZRU are in trouble.

    However, where I say Newscorp I actually mean all broadcasting rights, as distinct from local sponsorship in any format that might take.

    Yes, if SA were not involved, then a massive chunk of the appeal of SH rugby would be gone, but that is not the case. SA are here and they do compete.

    The reason broadcasters outside of SA are interested in screening games, and paying big bucks to do so, is because it is a wider competition than just the Currie Cup.

    I will wager you anything you like that the income earned via external broadcasting from the S15 is massively more lucrative to SARU than the Currie Cup.

    @Slumtown(Slumtown)-141: agree totally, may the best team win, and if it is not to be the ABs, then one of our SH partners would be the preferred option…the old enemy before the convicts, though I would rather face the Aussies in the semi than you guys, only because I think we still have the wood on them.. :D and against your team it is definitely a 50/50 game and the ticker may not last..

    Under the last SANZAR agreement, the ARU received 29% ($US93M) of total revenue with NZ and SA getting 33% ($US107M) and 38 % ($123M) respectively. As part of the protracted negotiations surrounding the awarding of the new Super 15 franchise, all SANZAR Nations agreed to split revenue from the new deal equally as each country would have 5 teams.

    The trade off for this concession to the ARU was that the new broadcast deal only included Super 15 games and Tri-nations tests with each Nation being able to negotiate its own deals for rights to their respective in-bound international test and domestic competitions. When these revenues are added to the bottom line, things look decidedly paltry for the ARU.

    It has been estimated that with Currie Cup and in-bound tests, SA Rugby has been able to negotiate an extra $US58M, an increase in revenue of 46% on the old agreement. The NZRU, whose NPC is estimated to be worth $US20M, will increase revenue by 13%, even before in-bound test revenue is factored into this figure.

    With no third-tier competition to hock, the ARU stands to only increase revenues by 7% or $US7M before in-bound test revenues are considered, not a great prospect given the poor TV ratings of this year’s tests.

    So Sanzar activities are split equally however domestic comps and inbound tours are not. Nor should they be. This it is why it is in Australias interest to marginalise our domestic competion.

    Interesting to note the difference in perceived value between NZ and SA domestic comps.

    they want their “share”, dammit or they will go on strike!

    Steve Tew has been consulting Zwelinzima Vavi on the best methods of “collective bargaining”

    they can’t be playing in World Cups and not getting paid…how the likes of Argentina, Romania, Georgia & Namibia afford to bring teams to the World Cup without being part of a money spinning alliance is a miracle!

    But 100% correct on the Aussies and the local comp issue.

    @Brads(Brads)-153: There’s no doubt that we benefit out of the Super comp. That wasn’t really my point.

    I’m still amazed at how the NZRU and a team like the Saders can remain so competative whilst remaining so marginal financially. A credit to them.

    I do think they can improve their financial management greatly though.

I mean its not like Sanzar have ever tried to do anything for Argentinian rugby no we left that one for the northern hemisphere. I mean the IRB have literally had to hold a gun to SANZAR’s collective heads to include those pesky Argentinians in a competition and what do we offer them, The awe inspiring Vodacom Cup. ;-)

    The 5 year deal for S15 is this – Figures are in millions

    SA US$180 – 48%
    NZ US$120 – 30%
    AU US $100 – 25%

    The disproportionate amout for NZ compared to Aus is because Aus doesn’t have a domestic comp to prop up and the other two unions (NZ & SA) have ganged up and screwed them to the floor.

    Compare that to the previous split for the S14
    SA US $123 – 38%
    NZ US $107 – 33%
    AU US $93 – 29%

    However, it does show that despite all the assumptions from SA commentators, SARU does in fact have teeth and have secured the best deal from the partnership.
