Haven't seen fine print but the deal I think is in place since 08 and there a similar thing with Munster and Leinster with regard needing to win at least 2 pool games per year for some funding issues. Will try get a clearer explanation but also it is a huge game because if we loose the remainding games (especially French one) it badly weakens Irish Rugby as a brand at a time when renegotiations and the finding of new kit sponsors etc are up for tender. Remember this is a business too and the Aviva has been a failure for atmosphere and ticket sales and provinces are taking huge enough hits too so if it gets any worst there will be alot more following Sexton and not alot of quality coming if wages are terrible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
