Kid A has clearly outlined that the IRFU spend more money on their regions than the WRU. My dilemma is still where they get all their money from bearing in mind that they should be around £12 million down per season on the WRU from Aviva games. I appreciate that some of our cash generated goes to pay off loans etc which I don't think the IRFU have.

Ignoring exchange rates for the moment, the IRFU spend over 55% of their income on the elite game, whilst the WRU only spend 47% ?
Surely the stadium loan repayments don't amount to 14 million per annum ?

They're a little vague on this but it's as follows: |

Bear in mind, this expenditure was from last year's turnover of £74m It's mostly all in the annual report: |

Not sure. IRFU don't seem to break it down. Their shirt sponsor is 15m Euros over 4 years though. WRU didn't announce the value of their shirt sponsor. |

I thought that it was PR that was in debt not the RFU. The two bodies don’t mix

The Aviva holds large gigs. Perhaps that money goes to the IRFU ? The PS is a separate legal entity, so perhaps the cash does not make its way to the WRU ?
Last summer Ed Sheeran and The Stones played the PS so this must have brought in a fair amount of cash ?

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/nov/26/rfu-accounts-reveal-loss-and-redundancy-of-54-staff-members Seems as though the RFU also made a loss of nearly 31 million.

Well it does seem that the IRFU manage to spend more on their professional teams than the WRU do despite the fact that they turnover around £20 million per year less. Perhaps the WRU need to have a good look at their non rugby cost base for starters!!!

I think it’s merited to also say that the IRFU cleverly managed its income streams from competitions and tv deals to, lets say, be the majority beneficiaries. The WRU were locked in their own intransigence about the club game and solely focused on boosting income around the national game ( 4th AI etc) and ensuring that revenue from Europe flowed their books before being distributed...to hell with the naughty regions.
The IRFU helped build at least 2 of the Top 5 teams in Europe, and again, cleverly made the Aviva the ‘go to’ venue for big games...income from Leinster’s success last season alone is estimated to swell the IRFU’s coffers by something in the realms of £2m .. clean profit..and re-investable. This doesn’t stem wage inflation of course, but it helps fund the market forces. |

Lots of what the IRFU do is highly commendable. Most of it. I for one am hugely envious of Leinster fans and their settled heart rates at matches. The problem I have with their structure is that they are allowed to manipulate 4 teams over the competitions. For the good of their national team. If I won the Euro lottery I wouldn't be allowed to own both the Scarlets and Gloucester. For obvious reasons. Yet the IRFU owns and operates 4 teams and swaps players between them for the good of all 4 and the national team? How on earth can that be right? |

Who tried to buy Gloucester and wasn’t allowed because he owned Montpellier. We’re going to get there early and get chips in the retail park 🤣
