RWC cashing in

Are these Guys joking? There is no fee for any of the performers and they wont even get to see the footy.

Rugby today, unlike 30 years of my 35 year rugby playing career, is now a professional sport yet it appears they want people to subject themselves to;


- Candidates must be 17 years or older to apply
- All applicants will be required to agree to security,
confidentiality & image authorisation releases
- Successful applicants will be required for rehearsals
during weeknights & weekends
- All positions are volunteer therefore will not be compensated.

Isn't this rank hypocrisy


A former N P C player, I was sent a preference booking pack by RWC some time ago. The ticket prices were exorbitant.

The RWC organisers make no secrete of the fact that for them it is about bucks, yet they expect others to give their time for free.
Prior to professionalism the N Z R F U had six full time paid employees. Today there are over 70. Those were the days when we were constantly ranked the No1 rugby playing nation in the world. N Z rugby was Amateur the last and only time that we won the world Cup.
Since then professionalism has undermined club rugby in N Z.
Their attitude is insulting.
It is my opinion that performers and volunteers should boycott this.
