…”By the time they’re all factored in, the team, plus its entourage, swells to more than 50. The logistics of managing a world-class sports team such as the All Blacks is now akin to a company in the army.”…

My Comments: That’s a ratio of 1 playing person to 1.4 non playing person. The NZRU does not understand cost controls, they are fat cat love to spend business model. Dont mention the failed high performance department, and the need for forex hedging to make profits.
