New Zealand Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson said the deal would be"transformational" for rugby in New Zealand, and for club sides that are perennially short of cash despite the All Blacks' on-field success. But critics point to the European Super League debacle as evidence that mega-rich foreign owners often chase cash and care little about a sport's tradition and culture."Clubs have sold their souls and then had to do complete backflip," former NZR chief executive David Moffett told Radio NZ.

City were among those willing to participate in the short-lived move by 12 top clubs in Europe to form the rebel Super League.Documents released before the vote revealed US$28 million of the Silver Lake money would be released to New Zealand Rugby stakeholders and a proportion would also be put into a long-term"legacy fund" to ensure the game remained sustainable.
