Provincial unions, super franchises, NZRU bosses... they will all debate the future of rugby in NZ for two days starting tomorrow (I mean, in a few hours).
To make it clear: The problem is money.
Audiences matter less. Provincial unions problems matter less. Even top players heading toward England and France can be substitued...
But the solution to every problem above (including audiences and attendances, of course) is money. That means it is a somewhat closed-loop situation.
Some say privatising super franchises would do. I doubt it would be enough. But anyway the future is in private hands, I fear.

Going professional is the only way and there are plenty opf well connected Kiwis all over the world to pull off a private franchise party. The problem is how the NZRFU will feel after some of their earthly power has been diverted.
NZRU losing power can benefit NZ rugby, strange as it may sound to NZRU CEO Tew.
How do you figure?
