Wru figures

Has anyone seen the figures as how the Wru have spent the cash over a season , exactly where it goes and how much is spent in each area ..Also has anyone seen a comparison between Wales and Scotland and Ireland 

And

It's nigh on impossible to carry out a comparision with other Home nations as each manages and shows it ins and outs in different ways unfortunately.

Thanks both for the info and information , breakdown of these figures and comparing the investment in regions , youth and amateur sides , was not available on any site I could see ...

Monies received by the WRU (30m over 5 years from 2020) from the sale of a % of the URC to CVC, should not be set against anyting other than the regions income streams, sent to them directly, and each year.

To not do so is criminal. Instead it's been used as leverage to borrow 50m for the 75% ownership of the Park Hotel.

WRU also receives circa 10m a year over 5 years for CVC's purchase of a share of the 6N.

It's a cautionary tale on how to mismanage a 100m income stream awawy from it's primary purpose.

Not sure if the link will work but it compares WRU and IRFU spending .The WRU spends well over £20 m a year than the IRFU on overheads and the amateur game which equates to the additional money The IRFU spends on the professional game in Ireland 

Just found this interesting site which has detailed financial information. for clubs in England, Ireland, USA and some French clubs. Interestingly nothing for Wales or Scotland. The Leinster model comes as quite a surprise.
