While on the subject of regional rugby just occasionally people are given to ask why they have to pay to be part of the programme. "Boys don't" we hear.
Well, consider. The profit RFU make from ONE home international would keep the RFUW running for at least TWENTY YEARS. Or - some might suggest - roughly how long it will be before the England men's team is capable of winning anything again. I could not possibly comment on that...
In fact that may be a low estimate if anything. From some figures I have heard, taking TV revenue into account as well, a single game might fund RFUW for knocking on for half a century!
As it is nearly 10% of RFUW's budget goes into the regional programme. The rest? Well our England heros did not get to Canada on foot, and did not do so brilliantly based on luck.
