The All Blacks will pocket NZD$150,000 each if they win this year’s Rugby World Cup.
The current players’ collective agreement, signed off in 2013, states a $35,000 bonus will be paid for reaching the final, and an additional $115,000 added incentive made should the All Blacks successfully defend the Webb Ellis Cup for the first time and claim their first World Cup abroad.
In 2011, the All Blacks each received $100,000 for their tense 8-7 win over France in the climax at Eden Park.
