ouch. Another nice argument down the drain because of facts.
Want some more of the same, comrade CleverZunk? Appendix 3 goes even further by also prescribing minimum levels:
2.2 The cover referred to in Section 2.1 above shall include Medical
Expenses, loss of Emoluments, Temporary Total Disablement, CareerEnding
Injury and Catastrophic Injury incurred as a result of injury
sustained at the time when the Player is on International Duty.
3. Minimum Cover
3.1 The minimum financial limits and the terms and conditions of the cover to
be provided pursuant to Section 2 above will be agreed or specified by
World Rugby from time to time but will not be less than: (a) In the case of a Catastrophic Injury: £1 million sterling; (b) Where a Player sustains a Career-Ending Injury and is aged on the
date of the incident: (i) 29 years of age or less; his Guaranteed Payments (save where
such Guaranteed Payments are more than £225,000 sterling
they shall be deemed to be £225,000 sterling); (ii) between 30 and 32 years of age (inclusive); 66% of his
Guaranteed Payments (save where such Guaranteed
Payments are more than £225,000 sterling they shall be
deemed to be £225,000 sterling); (iii) 33 years of age and over; 33% of his Guaranteed Payments
(save where such Guaranteed Payments are more than
£225,000 sterling they shall be deemed to be £225,000
sterling); (c) Where a Player is Temporarily Totally Disabled: his Guaranteed
Payments (save where such Guaranteed Payments are more than
£225,000 sterling they shall be deemed to be £225,000 sterling), on
a pro-rata basis for the period of time during which he is unable to
participate in the Game to a maximum of one year from the date of
the injury, and ending 7 days prior to the date he is able to resume
participating in the Game;
(d) The cost of any and all Medical Expenses.
By the looks of it, both Hougaard and his club are entitled to a few pounds.
