New Zealand Rugby is on shaky ground. 

It made a loss of almost $9 million in 2023, the second loss making year in a row after 2022’s loss of $47 million. 

NZR CEO Mark Robinson said that further work is needed to achieve a sustainable financial model, but he was positive about the organisation’s future. 

He told Mike Hosking that the way things developed over the last 20-25 years means they’ve got a really high fixed cost base, and they’re working really hard with shareholders to try and alter that.
