Rugby Union - the Price of Change
International rugby union is big business with sponsorship, television rights and ticket sales raising millions of pounds every year. Many top players argue that, with the increased demands on them, some of that money should end up in their pocket. But some senior administrators fear that this could destroy the amateur foundations of the game. In the year of the World Cup and on the eve of the Five Nations'
Championship, Martin Bashir examines the dilemmas.
Presented by Peter Taylor. Producer Geoff Griffiths
Editor Nigel Chapman
