By Online Editors
England celebrated the staging of their historic first match against the Barbarians by cruising to a 40-14 victory at Twickenham.
Hooker Lark Davies led the charge by scoring a hat-trick in front of an impressive crowd of 17,402, while wing Kelly Smith, flanker Poppy Cleall and prop Hannah Botterman also touched down.
The Red Roses led 28-0 at half-time but the Barbarians threatened a fightback through tries from Fiao’o Fa’amausili and Millie Wood until Davies and Smith put the result beyond doubt.

I think you're misunderstanding the fundamentals of how negotiations work, thinking the buyer has all the power. To look at just one rule of negotiation, the party with options has an advantage. I.e. if you are an international 10 with a huge personal brand, you have no shortage of high-paying job opportunities. Counter that to NZR who are not exactly flush with 10s, BB has a lot of leverage in this negotiation. That is just one example; there are other negotiation rules giving BB power, but I won't list them all. Negotiation is a two-way street, and NZR certainly don't hold all the cards.
