As good as the Black Ferns are, why are people trying to compare salaries and the like with the ABs?

@taniwharugby This may be the crucial bit:
New Zealand Rugby's head of women's rugby development, Kate Sexton, says making a direct comparison is difficult given the difference in the maturity of mens and women's rugby, but that it is timely to be asking such questions about the World Cup.

It's totally dumb-dumb, but nothing unexpected from lib affirmative-action social engineers and gender studies graduates who comprise most newsrooms these days. Just joking. (Actually, I'm not.)

@taniwharugby Gregor Paul - demonstrating he knows less about economics than he does rugby.

Can't find a thread to post this so will do so here.
Tuned into Sky Sport One about 1o minutes ago and the Womens NPC game between Auckland and North Harbour was on. I'm pleased to be able to report that rugby has once again become the game that caters for all body shapes, long may that continue. I did not last long viewing as I had other things to do but the little I saw would not result in a feeling that a major increase in viewers in future was imminent.
Come to think of it some of Ken Laban's background statistics and information might be interesting to hear should he be the commontator! I suppose things that we are supplied with for guys rugby like weight of scrum, weight of front five and weight of front row would be taboo.
