The infamous payments

The Daily Mail's Chris Foy divulges how much the England players are paid per match.

"The levels of greed reportedly at the heart of English rugby’s meltdown can be laid bare after Sportsmail obtained details of the RFU’s player payments structure.

England’s World Cup flops were each paid £41,666 for their five-game campaign in New Zealand — and that was after receiving £8,545 per man per match during the three-Test warm-up programme.

The leaked Rugby Players’ Association report revealed that players and RFU officials had accused certain members of England’s 30-man squad of being more interested in ‘getting cash and caps than about getting better on the pitch’."
