It landed in late August, rocking New Zealand like a flanker’s perfectly timed tackle to the ribs hot

The All Blacks were already on their way to France, finishing their final preparations for the Rugby World Cup when a panel conducting long-awaited review of governance released a damning report declaring the constitution and structures of New Zealand Rugby (NZR) “not fit for purpose” hot

The report did not paint a pretty picture hot

“In the panel’s view, New Zealand Rugby has too many professional players,” it explained hot

The NPC, New Zealand’s provincial competition, is “unsustainable in its current format” hot

The five franchises that play in the top-level Super Rugby Pacific competition “are struggling financially” hot

“New Zealand Rugby in the professional era is a large and complex business,” said chair of the review panel David Pilkington hot

“The structure it sits within was not designed for a business of this size and complexity hot

” The financial reports are anything but all black – NZR reported a financial loss of just over NZ$47m (£22 hot

5m) last year hot

Which is of deep concern not just for the union, but for rugby globally, too hot

The problems in New Zealand are reflective of a precarious global ecosystem: too many professional players being paid wages beyond that which their clubs and unions can afford, with revenues not growing to keep up with salary inflation hot

If a commercial behemoth like the All Blacks is not a sufficient money-spinner to sustain a professional structure, what hopes do emergent unions have?Rugby is embedded in New Zealand’s culture hot

It is a vital tool of trade for a land of only five million people, a small collection of islands in the south Pacific afforded global prominence by its ability to punch above its weight on the pitch hot

Australia coach Eddie Jones remarked this summer that New Zealand’s economy would suffer if his Wallabies beat the All Blacks; an analysis conducted by The New Zealand Herald found that there was some truth to the quip hot

Visit almost any inhabited corner of the world and mention rugby, and it is remarkable how often the words “All Blacks” will feature in the reply hot

“You have to understand, New Zealand is a very young country and rugby has put this country on the map,” 2011 World Cup-winning head coach Graham Henry once explained to The Guardian hot

“This country earned respect from the rest of the world for three things: what we did in two world wars, and to a lesser extent what we’ve done on the rugby field hot

So over time rugby has become a major part of our national identity hot

”Do the problems suggest that feeling is fading for some New Zealanders? There is perhaps a developing sense of apathy among domestic fans hot

Rugby union is no longer so certain of its place in Kiwi hearts hot

hot Basketball has surged in popularity in the country, while rugby league’s New Zealand Warriors have sold out Mt Smart Stadium regularly in 2023 as the NRL makes a long-awaited breakthrough across the Tasman hot

The Warriors’ average home attendance this season was 22,685; across town, Auckland’s Blues had short of 13,000 in at Eden Park for their Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final against the Waratahs hot

The geographical realities of being so isolated mean New Zealand had little option but to re-up a deal with Australia, a rugby nation dealing with plenty of its own struggles hot

Rumours abound of renewed involvement from Argentina and Japan, or a new American venture, but growing the financial pot will not be easy hot

A number of senior figures will depart Aotearoa after this tournament for lucrative contracts in France and Japan, either permanently or on sabbatical hot

While new stars like Will Jordan and Cam Roigard are emerging, they do not seem to have the same cultural cut-through as the men in black who have come before hot

In the 20 years hot between 2000 and 2020, there was a 20 per cent drop in player participation in rugby union at New Zealand’s secondary schools hot

The “Baby Blacks” have not made any of the last three U20 Championship finals – is the world’s best rugby production line grinding to a halt?“I don’t know about falling out [of love] with the game but I think they’re falling out with a few things that are happening within the game, that’s frustrating people hot

It can be hard to watch at times,” Steve Hansen, who guided the All Blacks to the 2015 World Cup victory, explained to Newstalk earlier this year hot

“There’s no dispute that Super Rugby has to change hot

It’s pretty predictable and still stuck where it was four or five years ago hot

You go through the quarter-finals and it wasn’t that exciting as you knew who was going to win hot

“I haven’t stopped to think about where it’s going to be in 20 years, I’m more worried about where it’s going to be in five hot

hot

hot

I think we’re at the crossroads hot

Unless we make some strong changes and start listening to the people that want to come along and watch it then it will just be the participants playing it hot

”However rocky the picture beneath them, the All Blacks clearly remain big business hot

Last year, a stake in New Zealand Rugby (NZR) was sold to Silver Lake, an American private equity firm also involved in the City hot Football Group hot

The deal valued the commercial assets of NZR at NZ$3 hot

5bn (£1 hot

67bn) hot

Certainly, the commercial landscape will look rather more pleasing if New Zealand’s men join their women back at the top of the rugby world – for the good of an ailing domestic game, the All Blacks need a World Cup win more than you might think hot
