Laurie Mains urges professional rugby players to support deal

New Zealand Rugby s plan to sell 12.5 percent of its commercial rights to US firm Silver Lake has been supported by the country s provincial unions and the Māori Rugby Board. The $387 million deal is still not complete because professional players are yet to agree to it. Mediation is at a stalemate with the two parties said to be way apart on the issue. Laurie Mains has been playing rugby since he was a child, and went on to play for and coach the All Blacks. He told Checkpoint he could not fathom why the professional players were not getting in behind a deal that has unanimous support from the grass roots.

The Rainbow Cup kicks off tonight But does anyone really care?

Image: Billy Stickland/INPHO NO SLEEPS to go. The day is finally here. Who needs a Super Cup when we have a mediocre alternative? The Rainbow Cup has arrived. Better still, we’ve got two for the price of one, a northern edition as well as a southern one. It is a competition that can be added to a stellar list of names; the Celtic League, Magners League, Rabo-Direct; the Pro12; the Pro14 when there were 14 teams in it; the Pro14 when there were just the 12 clubs. If you are not enthused by this brave new dawn then shame on you. Let’s get you in the mood by revisiting these uplifting words from a special general meeting of the South African Rugby Union (SARU) last September. The orator was Jurie Roux, CEO of South African Rugby, who called the meeting in reaction to ‘the unilateral decision by the New Zealand Rugby Union to proceed with a domestic or trans-Tasman competition’.

Llanelli Scarlets look to Bunnings NPC for development opportunities

· Lynn McConnell · GETTY IMAGES They may have been fierce rivals through the years, but New Zealand Rugby and Llanelli Scarlets are developing a connection to enhance both organisations. In the years of the amateur game pre-1996, the All Blacks and the Scarlets base club, Llanelli, featured in some great contests, notably the 1972 9-3 win for the Welsh club. As part of Brad Mooar s return to take up a place as an All Blacks assistant coach, after only three months of a three-year contract last year, the Llanelli club negotiated an elite performance partnership with New Zealand Rugby (NZR). Mooar had followed Wayne Pivac when he moved to the Wales coaching role. And when Mooar returned to New Zealand, former Highlanders assistant coach Glenn Delaney took over the role with Ben Franks as his scrum coach, and former All Blacks captain and hooker Sean Fitzpatrick joining the club as a board member.
