Change is one step closer for New Zealand Rugby after the 26 provincial unions “reached a consensus” on governance reforms that could shake up the organisation. -
Aren't the Players assoc saying they will stop it or something? They want no changes at all to the recomendations, and the provinces still wanted same say. I think I read that, kind of see both sides of argument really.

I know that actually reading articles is against fernlore, but from article from @Duluth
The NZRPA is not a voting member of NZ Rugby and therefore cannot influence the vote, but tensions between the two entities will likely persist over the issue.

Hmmmm...the PUs have plans of their own.

The 14 provincial rugby unions have landed global insurance company Gallagher, the sponsors of the English Premiership, as a partner in a new commercial strategy that will deliver a greater autonomy from New Zealand Rugby.

@Bovidae will read the details but on the heading i dont hate it, im not a fan of the unions being so reliant on NZR

If they aren't crowding out financing and the unions can become self-sustaining, great. Otherwise if they continue to be mendicants, change is inevitable.

@antipodean Good on them.Take away provincial unions, club rugby and NZRFU have nothing. Not sure what NZRPA’s problem is? The austerity mantra of cutting everything and selling assets to the private sector for short term game is driven by flawed neoclassical economic theory. It starts at central government but is insidious pervading every aspect of our lives for the worse.

I'm not sold that continuing to spend money on something that loses money is good for long term security.

It’s like running a business where someone else builds the roads and trains your people. Just artificial boundaries, externalising the “other” costs and telling yourself you make all the money.

But the NPC is no longer the provider. Schools -> Academy -> Super Rugby -> All Blacks is how it works now. The NPC is a relic of a bygone era and we need to recognise that and adapt accordingly.

@antipodean partly true but not completely as provincial rugby provides a much broader base. But that in any case only deals with the elite level of the game. It says that provincial rugby and club rugby in the places where people live don’t matter? If that’s the case the All Blacks will no longer represent NZ they will just be another team that plays for money.
-
Didnt the review conclude that the NZR board was not fit for purpose and needed change?
What have the board done to follow the recommendations?

whilst that is the main pathway now the NPC does still play a part in the process, connecting to the provinces outside the main centres, running the club game which is a fanbase literally made up of people that love rugby so much they want to keep playing it. i think cutting it loose completely would be a mistake
-
The PUs still play an important role in the rugby development system. While the young players might be in academies straight out of school, they play for their provincial U19s before graduating to the SR U20s and then the NPC teams. Without any provincial games (including age-group) or club games these young guys wouldn't be playing at all.

That can happen in an entirely amateur competition. Like it used to be. There are people emotionally invested in the NPC because that's what they grew up with, but it's not the 1980s anymore.

@antipodean amature players maybe ...but the organisation itself still needs to be financially viable for its expenses and to make sure its being run by professionals

Then you've still removed 80-90% of your costs.
