Highway Bribery!

Should New Zealand win the 2007 RWC they will each receive a $100,000 bonus. Pretty safe bet :) The new salary arrangements for NZ rugby players should encourage them to perform - much more player performance incentives. Super 14 salaries start at $65K Nice one!

An IRB report has apparently be leaked to The Sunday Times - a pommy publication. The report is about selecting the 2011 RWC host nation and the money now seems to be on South Africa - yep, Japan and NZ don't fare as well... You can read about it over at Foxsports.
