England to bank almost triple that of All Blacks with World Cup victory

As the current World Champions, it would be expected that the All Blacks are in for a mega payday should they claim their third successive Rugby World Cup in Japan.

However, it has been revealed that England players are set to share a jackpot of almost triple the amount of the New Zealand prize pool.

The All Blacks will each receive $150,000 if they’re successful in defending the World Cup as part of a total $4.65 million pool.

And should the Kieran Read-captained side reach the final, but fail to win, they will be paid $35,000.

But sharing a prize pool of £7?million (NZ$13.4 million), the Telegraph has reported that England stars will each take home £225,000 (NZ$432,040) if they lift the Webb Ellis Cup victorious for the first time since 2003.

In a change from the 2015 payment structure, the England players will receive bonus payments, increasing from the quarter-finals in a four-tiered bonus structure.

Reaching the quarter-finals is understood to be worth 10 per cent of the bonus pot, which would grant extra payments of around £16,000 (NZ$30,722) per player, should they reach the last four.

Although they’re set to play for much less than their English rivals, the potential payment is the last of the All Blacks worries with former All Black prop Wyatt Crockett assuring it won’t be a motivating factor for the men in black.

“There is so much that goes into winning a Rugby World Cup. Money comes and goes, but what doesn’t is that trophy,” Crockett told the Herald earlier this year.

“You can always say that you have won a World Cup and that is very special for myself and the guys.

“This World Cup is going to be incredibly tough and the motivation is to get your name and your team into history – a three-peat would be massive for the boys. As a player you want to be a player who has gone out there and won a World Cup.”

On top of any bonuses they secure at the World Cup, team members will also be paid $7500 a week from the time the men in black go into camp.

Members of the All Blacks’ victorious 2011 World Cup team received a $100,000 bonus. Based on inflation that figure equates to $122,299 in 2019.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
