[QUOTE="NJR1, post: 452103, member: 55845"] The thing is if the NZRU were more organised, they wouldn't be in the financial mess they are in, and a loss on a WC would be within the budget. Spending bucket loads of money on Bringing SBW back to NZ was ridiculas. The financial plight of Unions is mainly down to gross mis-management, nothing to do with the IRB, who are also about as much use as a chocolate teapot. However on the other topic, NZ hasn't done itself any favour re. this RWC, the profiteering going on is ridiculas, $12 for a beer during the RWC at some pubs in Britomart, when the usual price is about $8, and Hotels and Motels putting up their prices to the tune of 1000% in some cases. Not to mention the Ticket prices, bloody outragous, it's no wonder companies like Telecom are raffling off 500 tickets minimum a week to staff for free. Perhaps if the NZRU had sorted the above out, then, they would have had pots of cash to off set the cost of the next world cup! [/QUOTE]
