There's the story. The WRU will give £100k bonus to each player if we win the RWC.
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm willing to back them too. So if they win the RWC I'll give them an extra £100K.
So, on behalf of the WRU and myself, if you boys win, you'll get £200k. So no excuses now, we're expecting the trophy...
Welsh Players to receive £100k bonus
posted on 6/8/11
seems like a great idea to reward success but also it seems like an unattainable goal...

"The Welsh Rugby Union and players' association have struck a payment deal that covers all Test matches until the end of the 2016 Rugby World Cup.
Any player who appears in every round of a successful 2011 World Cup campaign would take home £100,000.
The WRU also wants to resurrect its A team to help develop Test players."

This must be a 500 to 1 shot for any player. For example.
Will Dan carter play in every round of the world cup this year? Of course not. Thats just silly. Will Richie McCaw play in every round? of course not... When 2 of the best players in the world cant make every round.... what chance is there for any one else in any team... its daft
This in other countries is called a squad and in other countries they rotate the squad. hell why bring 30 players. I could understand if they said they would reward the team for winning the web ellis but it seems like they only reward individuals who play in every round???
Gecko .... Mate your money is safe. and to is the money of the WRU. even if they win the WC how many are going to have played in every round.
