2nd: France £3.7m
1st: England 5m
Champions England secured £5m for the RFU, with Unions throughout the world all desperate for an injection of cash after being hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, England players are set to split a stunning £700,000 worth of bonuses from the Six Nations prize money. The title success is worth up to £30,000 per player depending on campaign game-time. The RFU had already set aside the funding for this eventuality.
For the next year, England players will see their international match fees drop by a quarter to approximately £18,000.
