Greg Growden reports on Australia's attempt to recoup some of the losses attributed to the staging of the Rugby World Cup in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"Australia will start a high-level campaign this week to retrieve some of the $16 million lost due to the staging of this year's World Cup.
"Australian Rugby Union officials will push their case for better compensation at an International Rugby Board meeting in London, and even call for the World Cup to be staged later in the year so major rugby nations do not suffer losses every four years when the tournament is staged.
"The ARU recently revealed the 10 tier-one nations would forfeit about $75 million due to the closure of the June and November Test windows this season. In its annual report, the ARU predicted it would lose about $16m in net revenue."
