WELLINGTON - New Zealand Rugby has offered a grant of NZ$250,000 to each of the country's five Super Rugby teams to help them get through the next three months while the game remains suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"An emergency NZR grant of NZ$250,000 each is to be made available to all Super Rugby clubs for the next three months which is seen as a critical supplement to other financing options or levers being considered by the clubs," NZR chief Mark Robinson said in a statement. Falling crowds and TV audiences have led to speculation that more changes could be made during negotiations for the new broadcast deals, which will start next year.
