NZR review

@Higgins said in NZR review:
@Kiwiwomble The Wellington Football Club played it's first game using the rules of rugby in 1870 and records indicate they have fielded teams playing under the rules of rugby in every year since then. You might be confusing them with the Nelson Rugby Football Club (formerly Nelson Football Club) who were founded in 1868 and adopted the rules of rugby in 1870 but did not field teams in their own name during the War years. These two played the first official game between Clubs (as opposed to School teams) at Petone on 12 September 1870, Nelson prevailing 2 - 1!
Maybe, I know Dunedin RFC have claimed to be the oldest "continuous" club in NZ, i have a commemorative jerseys with it embroidered on it, maybe thats something there was confusion about in the past and has since been cleared up

Having that settled is good, but only if the new board and management can make hard decisions.
As the discussion in the crowd thread shows, the way forward looks reasonably clear (our NPC-centric and non-NPC centric posters seem to align on the 8-10 team in converged Super/NPC competition idea).
I'm interested to see whether NZRU can get there. I won't hold my breath.

Realistically we will see no great changes to anything for a year or 2, I would imagine , or even want. It's only the board that runs things, and regardless of what we think/say in general there only needs to be tweeks to how the game is run at board level. Most fof it will be perhaps more commercial, and that all takes time stc.

Dame Patsy and Dame Farah Palmer, who is due to rotate off the NZR Board, will work in conjunction with the Stakeholder Panel to establish the six-person Appointments and Remunerations Panel (ARP). They will be joined by current NZR President Matthew Cooper, whose role sits separate from the Board.

Nah, I think we (like other nations) have been sold a dummy with private equity. I thought it was the correct idea based on the sales pitch but there is no more money to be had. We'll be lucky to break even with the silver lake deal, same the abs recent performances (along with the all blacks 7s 🤮) isn't helping

The deal broke the first rule of finance. Don't sell equity
