The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

They mad a **** ton off the US game.

Baltimore was Baltfontein over the weekend.

"The match in the US is set to earn the two unions R90 million (approx. NZ$9.6 million) more than if the match had been staged in South Africa, according to a report by The Daily Maverick."

Well if saru posted a loss of R30 mil they can fire 30 useless administors and brake even again.

The issue is the Springboks are profitable but all other unions and women rugby's is not. Everyone know has some sort of deal to sell springbok merch / fan gear (Checkers, Mr Price, Old School etc) and with this series Saru will porbably make a profit this year just not sure they can bank on a profit every year while supporting so many other unprofitable causes.
