Touring sides should get an appearance fee, says Fiji coach

New Zealander McKee believes host unions should pay touring Test sides an appearance fee to ensure wider benefits from the hefty sell-out crowds like Ireland's 51,000 Aviva Stadium attendance for Saturday's Fiji clash.

Fiji boss John McKee has challenged global administrators to force through a gate-sharing revenue model to help tier two nations thrive in Test rugby.

The Samoa Rugby Union's bankruptcy has caused shock waves through the sport this month, and Fiji head coach McKee is advocating for change.
