Re: The Dutch National Rugby Union is almost bankrupt - advi
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Dutch Rugby Union today, with 79 of 82 clubs represented (!), they voted by 85% to support the bailout plan, meaning senior rugby players will pay €80 each and junior players will pay €40 each, giving a total of €688,000 to save the Union.

Re: The Dutch National Rugby Union is almost bankrupt - advi
While it is a shame the Dutch rugby union is almost bankrupt, if truth be told, it would be best if the union was simply scrapped. I can understand the IRB wants to spread the game to as many countries as possible, but it also needs to recognise there are instances where this is pointless. In the N...

That is quite low You're from the posh end of Europe, arntcha. 150€ here Not sure how much in France these days but likely quite close The €60 is what the Union gets - the club fees the se...
