Wasn't sure where to put this or if it is even interesting but the those flippin' Saders beat us again

@Stargazer said in Super Rugby 2023:

Even worse if a NZ developed player is drafted by an Aussie franchise, and then being snapped up by the Wallabies.

That's exactly what they want.

@KiwiMurph quoted the ARU mouthpiece in Super Rugby 2023:

Crucially, New Zealand appears to have softened its stance towards Australia’s demand for an even split of broadcast revenue, signifying a victory for RA.

I don't understand this: You can sell your part for more than we can, so we want part of your revenue too?

Wasn’t the old version of super rugby largely funded by NZ/Aus getting a cut from the larger broadcasting deal the South Africans had? Super sport maybe? Not sure when that changed. Might be wrong.

@pukunui thats what i had always believed, and that that was why the SA teams got afternoon kick offs etc but i think someone corrected me on here, if it was ever the case it changed a long time ago

Isn't it also a bit like what we want when we play say England at Twickenham. .

I believe that they agreed SANZAR sold the rights and hence benefited as a whole. In the current iteration, RA and NZR are individually selling their rights.

[Bovidae]

If RA want revenue sharing that works both ways.

OH! thats what they were advertising at the game last night, we keep seeing this ad roll around the advertising hoarding "returning to melbourne"....but no one could make out the actual logo when i came up...too small and unfamiliar, became a bit of a joke amoungst those around us trying to work out what it was when it came up

especially after this year poor turn out numbers wise

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Yep, and NZ fans missing out on at least one (home) game they can go to. (I assume there's revenue sharing for the franchises themselves?)

[Kiwiwomble]

@Stargazer what revenue ? certainly not from ticket sales

dont get me wrong, i'll go again...but i wont have to decide until the day

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Good point. So basically all teams having to sacrifice a home game, also suffer finanical loss because of it!
