Last Minute Winner – The Financial Impact
Plan for a last minute winner so that you can reap all the financial rewards
Success in sports cannot be guaranteed. We seen the dramatic ending to the Ireland vs France rugby game whereby Jonny Sexton slotted a 45 yard drop goal to snatch Ireland victory from the jaws of defeat. The Irish heroics highlight how such huge results can hinge on he finest of margins.
Ireland were strong favourites going into the game at the State De France and defeat would of eliminated any dreams of a grand slam finale in Twickenham on St Patricks Day. It is fair to say that the finance & commercial side of the RFU and Irish province’s are relieved that such an outcome is still possible.
So the question needs to be asked, are sporting teams planning for all the various scenarios and possibilities that can be derived from these high profile games. Jonny Sextons profile is at an all time high this week, have the RFU scenario planned for this, allowing themselves and Leinster to reap all the financial rewards of such heroics.
