Malcolm Gillies: Hurricanes Co-Owner on the report on Super Rugby's viability, funding issues, potential for privatisation

A Super Rugby team owner believes a damning report into the competition's viability is further proof a new financial structure is needed.  A Deloitte document claims no franchise would have been profitable on a stand-alone basis since 2019, without New Zealand Rugby funding.  Hurricanes co-owner Malcolm Gillies has been an advocate for privatisation, telling Mike Hosking they must adapt.  He says they’re outgrowing the model, and they have to look collectively at how they can get it to produce players of quality, but at the same time it needs to stand on its own.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
