So I emailed the VRU to ask for a copy of their annual report. They replied straightaway - very efficient. The annual report is lovely but contains no financials so I contacted them again to ask if I could have those too. Not so efficient on that one - am still waiting for a reply.
I also emailed the Rebels to ask them for a copy of their annual report. They were less responsive than their friends at the VRU and didn’t even bother replying to me, let alone send me what I’d asked for. Bit rude.
I wonder why they don’t want to send me this information![]()

No contacts, no.
RA doesn’t have to produce full financial reports. It is allowed to file what’s called a Reduced Disclosure Financial Report, which anyone can obtain from ASIC for a fee.

I was reading the VRU Annual Reports just yesterday - the complete lack of any financial information in them for the past 5 years is quite stunning IMO. But at least they have a set formula - the RA reports change the amount of detail provided in each year to make comparison difficult. I emailed the ARU today asking if they could provide a more detailed breakdown of participation figures across the country - you would think that given they were harking about it so loudly you'd think that they would have the figures at their fingertips but apparently not..

Things not so rosy in NZ either.
However, the small loss appears to be part of the plan as they continue to distribute funds throughout the game in NZ.
$35 Million turnaround in 12 months.

What happens if there is no SuperRugby post 2020 because no-one is prepared to sponsor it to the value necessary to sustain it?
We are less than 2 years away from the kick off of season 2021 but still no sponsor or broadcaster announced.
Would love to see the terms of these player contracts against that backdrop.

If the teams carry over to a different comp that should have to cough up. That’s what makes these 4 or 5 year deals look ridiculous.
If the RA goes belly up it will be up to the liquidators.
