Just the simple defence of the Six Nations title would be worth £72,858 to each player. These are not figures that will concern Lancaster however. The decision of Lancaster to bring in guest speakers such as former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville and GB rugby league player Kevin Sinfield during the squad's four-day training camp in Leeds last week was designed to underscore the honour of representing England to his players in the face of growing financial rewards. The leaked reports into the World Cup campaign revealed one player had greeted England's quarter-final defeat by France with the comment: "That's £35,000 down the toilet." Harlequins No 8 Nick Easter later admitted he could have made the remark. It is understood that England's 30-man squad at last year's World Cup were paid fee of £1.25 million for reaching the quarter-finals, just under £42,000 per player. Victory over France in Auckland would have been worth another £1 million. Reaching the final would have secured a further tournament fee of £250,000, with a team bonus of £1.25 million for losing finalists and a jackpot of £2.5 million for winning the Trophy. Each England player in the 22-man squad will receive a match fee of £9,224 per Six Nations match. The win bonus per match for each player in the 22-man squad will be £3,075. The RFU will also pay a team bonus of £500,000 if England win the Grand Slam. Thus, each player who features in the 22-man squad of all the games in a Grand Slam victory would receive a total of £84,222. The RFU will pay a bonus for £250,000 for the simple defence of the title, worth £72,858 for each player The England players at the World Cup in New Zealand were paid a tournament fee of £1.25 million - just under £42,000 per player.
