The ladies English rugby team are being paid 400 quid per game having had a laycut from 800 pounds per game. The men playing for England get a match fee of 17k a game. Is this fair ...?

In this day and age why are people getting paid for playing for their country? They are representing us all for all the hard work they have done. That's an honour not a privilege!!!

I would waver that & give it to a charity that could do something good for others. But hey, that's just me...

Nope...more research is needed to fix ticket prices so the ladies fees can be increased

I’m sure the England mens team give their match fee to charity or they did and I’m sure when they didn’t it was capped at about 2k

Yeh of course its fair. Its not a man or a women thing. When it comes to sport it is about the level you play at and the money you generate for that sport.

If the woman's rugby generated the same money as the mens they would get paid the same.

There will be men playing rugby that get paid less than those women and even men playing hat don’t get paid at all.

Sort of except the women have been given a leg up in order to develop the women's game. Hopefully as the women's game develops, so will the rewards.

we’ve already seen the first 400k transfer once the big corporate sponsors start getting involved the money will come flooding in and that will reflect the wages they receive although I can’t see them reaching the same as the mens yet

We had this conversation over football and boxing. When BBC/Sky etc etc start paying as much money to get the women’s games as they do the men’s then they probably will. Until then no they won’t I would imagine!

With that way of thinking id expect not just the players to give up their fee, but everyone else as well. All tickets should be free, should be made available for everyone to watch for free and any profits from advertising etc given to charity.
