"With a projected 58.4 million less spent on kit design than in previous years, the WRU are really in the money now."

As long as everyone can afford the financing on their debt everything is all good. If the SRU and WRU can survive this current recession/jobless recovery then theres hope for all of us.

... Well if you Welsh guys have got a spare bit of cash, would you be interested in an All Blacks V Wallabies match ... really, we aren't doing it for the money, we just realise that the game needs to be "expanded" in your country
