So Scarlets have a player/staff budget of €12.1 million as per above so if that is average for the 4 regions that would be €48.4 million give or take more than the Irish provinces :shock: 196 staff what the hell are they all doing. Despite losing 21 staff their staff budget only went down £112k aro...

Oh dear: Wages and salaries £9,275,380 I can only assume that staff (and salary) figure has to include both Scarletts and Llanelli RFC? Even still it seems very large. Yes. Scarlets, Llanelli RFC players and probably Llandovery players too. Plus admin, catering, shop assistants, ticket salespeople,...

There are no dual contracts. I'm unsure why anyone would look at turnover / income to compare what companies spend money on. Totally unrelated. Page 77 of your 2020 report mentions the dual contracted players Given that we're comparing IRFU operations to Welsh, that we have the same number of pro s...

I have already answered this. Wales has around 100 more rugby clubs than Ireland. It's too many clubs. Too many mouths to feed. That's more £ that needs to b e invested in community rugby and more salaries of development officers, referees and whatever else goes with it. That's where the money goes...

The budgets of the big French teams seem to be fairly available - most of them dwarf the spending of teams in other parts of Europe (in as far as we can tell).

What on earth are you talking about? The salary cap in France is €11.5 m minus French squad player credits.

Saracens, as with all English clubs have had to cut back on spending. The salary cap in England is now £7m. Leinster have a player payroll of around £11m . Only the French clubs can match that. I've seen that figure bandied around several times and it's absolute horseshit. Plus Sarries have their t...

I mean page 5 literally tells you that this is the accounts for 2 rugby teams. So on average - way fewer employees than say Leinster. Does it really say that - not that I could find. point still stands though - pissing away money on something that isn't producing output for the pro team Your point ...

Giggling that you thought Cardiff Blues had about 100 professional rugby players.

That's probably more than Scotland has.

Kid A

121 is all staff including tea ladies . Unless you are looking at cardiff rugby operation as a whole which would include the likes of Cardiff RFC too. Nope Page 23 of the accounts, second link on this page: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03199030/filing-history 1...

Their turnover at WRU level is higher. How Welsh rugby chooses to spend that is up to them. You're dead right about this bit though. And what the WRU choose to spend their money on isn't the 4 Welsh regions. There are too many rugby clubs in Wales that all want handouts and funding. There are over ...

Kid A

You'll have to translate that. Can you not see how the figure is different? It goes into a pot. Irish 4 receive 40m+ on players and coaches alone. Welsh teams receive £32m that they have to use on everything. The Scarlets have 196 members of staff to pay salaries to (including tea ladies). They gen...

You don't even seem to know who pays the players wages in Wales, so I have no expectations that a conversation with you will have any benefits. Not a clue. I know quite well thanks. WRU pays international players some money (appearance fees, bonuses etc), and is also involved in a limited number of...

Source, other than your arse, for the £ 11m please. A man who previously worked for Leinster rugby (John Mulvhill) claimed the budget is as high as 14m - I believe he means Euros.

€46,500,000,000 spent by the IRFU annually on pro players and coaches Hermie. In the official accounts. Do some research. That is the figure for all professional rugby, including internationals etc WRU don't break down their accounts in the same way, but given that total IRFU income is €77m and tot...

the IRFU effectively foot the bill for those of whom are deemed centrally contracted. And also those who aren't centrally contracted., The IRFU pays the salaries of all pro players in Ireland.

Because he barely had the ball, didn't drop 6 up and unders and didn't get sin binned?

He’s a quality player but something is badly wrong- why did Exeter start benching him? I don’t know if it’s off field problems but he’s just not got going at all.
