[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 797920, member: 55747"] I feel bad for the guys but I couldn't help thinking "What did you expect?" and how does this benchmark against other sports. From the article: "[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Guardian Text Egyptian Web]We take the same risks, put in the same hours and make the same sacrifices with few of the benefits.[/FONT][/COLOR]" There are millions of people who do the same, world wide. People do not get paid based on risks taken+hours+sacrifices, but on risks taken+hours+sacrifices+talent. The difference between first tier and second tear athletes is abysmal in terms of benefits in pretty much any sport, not just rugby. From ping pong to 100 mts to marathons to boxing to wrestling to mma. [/QUOTE]
