NZR, Ineos reach settlement - what's next for the All Blacks?

New Zealand Rugby and former kit sponsor Ineos have resolved their financial differences. 

A settlement has been reached after NZR lodged an injunction at the High Court in Wellington, with the figure reportedly in excess of $21 million. 

Ineos get to terminate the deal after three years, rather than the full six. 

Marketing Expert Mike Hutcheson told Andrew Dickens NZ Rugby will likely wind up with a contract with a similar company. 

He says we’re a tiny country at the bottom of the world, and you have to look quite hard to find someone who can afford to sponsor the All Blacks.
