The broadcast party is over for Super Rugby. Here comes the hangover – Sydney Morning Herald
SANZAAR didn’t quite get an Alan Bond deal in its last broadcast contract in the UK and Ireland but it wasn’t far off it. The next one will mirror reality.
This goes against the grain in terms of the renewed optimism around the game in Australia, but you can simultaneously discuss the energy brought by Stan/Nine (the publishers of this masthead) and the broader challenges facing the game.
Put simply, sports rights experts such as Melbourne-based Colin Smith of believe GMS the eventual UK/Ireland deal for SANZAAR will be as much as 50 per cent less than the last one, which would effectively pull tens of millions of dollars out of the SANZAAR unions.
